Robert:
Years back I used to use Chrony for that purpose (when I was running
Smoothwall on an old PC instead of a commercial router, as I am now)
and it did the job remarkably well.
One of the designgoals of Chrony was to support networks or computers
that are NOT connected full-time, so that time stayed somewhere near
correct even if offline for hours or days.
But that having been so long ago, now, I don't remember the details.
I also don't remember what the "restrict" directive for ntpd does.
(to give you an idea of how long ago that was it was when I had a Red Hat
7.2 or 7.3 workstation as my home PC--pre-RHEL. I could compile things on
that RH box, tar up the necessary results and take that file to the
smoothwall box and untar them and with small configuration: voila!)
there used to be a chrony mailing list where one could ask such questions,
but I haven't seen traffic on it in years, so it may no longer exist.
