[ale] possibility of running an NTP server

[Ron Frazier]

Hi Leam,

The docs say you have to have a static IP and a permanent connection. 
However, since the DynDNS service continually remaps the dynamic IP to a 
fixed hostname, I thought it might work anyway. I think I can get 
incoming queries if I port forward the router to the server. I'm not 
familiar with bastion.

Sincerely,

Ron

call on the phone.  I get about 300 emails per day from alternate energy
mailing lists and such.  I don't always see new messages very quickly.)
