Thomas,
At http://www.cisco.com/warp/customer/620/ntpassoc.html I found the
following:
"The poll field [in the output of 'show ntp associations'] represents the
polling interval (in seconds) between NTP poll packets. As the NTP server
and client are better synced and there aren't dropped packets, this number
increases to a maximum of 1024. The offset field is the calculated offset
(in milliseconds) between the client and server time. The client slows down
or speeds up its clock to match the server's time value. The offset
decreases toward zero over time. It probably will never reach zero since the
packet delay between the client and server is never exactly the same, so the
client NTP can't ever exactly match its clock with the server's."
That leads me to think that the polling interval and offset are dynamic
internals of ntp that change with the state of the connection between the
server and client and cannot be changed manually.
