Re-testing this situation on jaunty alpha 6 in an enterprise environment with a Microsoft DHCP server, it's still not addressed.
The situation is therefore, one of:
- NTP syncs to ntp.ubuntu.com and silently maintains a constant offset from our local timeserver
- NTP tries to sync to ntp.ubuntu.com, but is blocked by our firewall (the case here), and time silently diverges
I feel this is more important than 'wishlist' though.
