Thats pretty snazzy.

Ah I was making my observation based on that NTP seems to be designed
around a connectionless protocol that structures itself in a tree-ish
format, kinda like DNS, and that a connection based protocol would make the
structure too unwieldy. Granted DNS does do some data transfer over TCP
but its not generally needed during normal operation. At any rate, it
couldn't be done without modifiing the code, and finding somebody else to
peer with who also had a modified server.
