If I am not mistaken I believe he is running the ntp service on a soekris
[http://www.soekris.com] box. For those not familiar with these boxes..
Imagine a 486 class CPU running at max 266 MHz trying to do this level of
filtering.
Though I could be wrong. I know he is running a ntp service on *A* soekris box,
but it may not be the box in question.
