For now openntpd is the recommended solution but a more minimal client
might be preferable depending on implementation specifics.  The only
feature missing from openntpd that we could use is a way to set the
egress interface.  Openntpd's "listen on" directive only defines the
ingress tcp adddress, outgoing queries still use the server's primary ip.
