An interesting read.  It doesn't give you an exact solution, but it
does hint at what you've taken the time to point out above.

I've set "maxpoll 9" on each "server" entry, on each of our boxes.
So far (48+ hours later), still no signs of FLL/PLL switching.  Very
cool.

Thank you very much for this recommendation.  :-)
