Is it possible to use ntpd as a client as well as a server?

I have my firewall setup to get updates from the Internet which it does
without any problem.  However, I am not seeing any clients syncrhonizing
with the firewall.

The firewall ntp.conf files contains the following.

server ntp-2.mcs.anl.gov prefer
driftfile /data_prgs/local/etc/ntp.drift

The clients contain the following.
server firewall
driftfile /var/db/ntp.drift

firewall is a resolved via internal DNS, and it is resolved to the correct
IP address.

Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks,



Jay
