Because NTP servers just love it when you have ten machines updating
from one IP. Even Windows XP lets you easily enter in your own NTP
server.

... What I really want is an easy "Multicast client" checkbox. Right now
to configure multicast I seem to have to manually edit ntp.conf which
seems to get clobbered occasionally. I run a local NTP server off my
MythTV box, since it needs to have accurate time anyway.
