The natural way to handle this, I'd think, would be to check the external servers hourly, say (that shouldn't impose too great a load on them) and then modify the drift value accordingly. In between, use the drift data to nudge the hardware clock to the correct value. But I can't tell from the ntp docs I've looked at if this is what's supposed to happen -- or if not, what really does happen. My drift file hasn't been modified for the last two days, according to "ls -l".
