Re: NTP
If you do 'ntpq -p' you will see a column headed "Poll". This is the interval (in seconds) the server is queried. Generally its 1024 seconds for servers and 64 for an external clock such as a GPS. The 'minpoll' and 'maxpoll' values can be adjusted but are better left alone.
See the Technical Knowledge Base document #KBRC00015657 for more information.
Regards!

Re: NTP
You can use the ntpq -p timeserver command to get these values for your environment. As the dispersion decreases the poll seconds increases.
You reduce the frequency of polling by using a good network and good time sources.

Re: NTP
a) Configuring a Client to Use Server Polling
A polling client has information about its server and contacts it for time information over a network. A typical /etc/ntp.conf file for a client that is using gama as its timeserver is as shown next.
# vi /etc/ntp.conf
server gama
driftfile /var/adm/ntp.drift
Multiple timeservers may be used in the configuration file. The default polling time for the timeserver is once every 64 seconds. At every poll time, drift in the local time and the server time is recorded. If the drift is high, the next polling time is scheduled to occur earlier. If the drift is low, the next polling time is later.
b )Configuring a Client to Use Server Broadcast
A broadcast client does not contact any server for time information but listens for broadcast time information from a broadcast timeserver. The configuration for the broadcast NTP client is like the following.
# vi /etc/ntp.conf
broadcastclient yes
driftfile /var/adm/ntp.drift
Hope this helps.
