try 'dhcpcd_eth0="-dRNDt 5"' ntp will refuse to sync if it sees too much drift/too much time difference between itself and the upstream. Its not overly verbose in telling you this however. add "tinker panic 0" as the first line to each ntp.conf (inc your server) Its also a good idea to add a de

Just as a sidenote. My machine is running dhcpcd, and it sometimes overwrites /etc/ntp.conf for some reason, even though I have 'dhcpcd_eth0="-N"' on /etc/conf.d/net. I don't know how to make dhcpcd leave /etc/ntp.conf alone OR make it write a correct ntp.conf (without a bunch of 'restrict' lines).
