Or you could just concede the fact that the navy is playing with time travel again.

I can confirm this had happened on one of my test servers - it was
pointing to tick.usno.navy.mil and tock.usno.navy.mil at the time.

That's not a very diverse set of NTP servers.  In the future if
you think it might be an outage, you might try on the 'outages'
list: http://puck.nether.net/mailman/listinfo/outages

For this one, you might ask the server contact if there was a
problem: http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/TockUsnoNavyMil

That assumes you've done your homework first and made sure it
wasn't something in your network.
