+- ``minpoll N`` sets the minimum delay between NTP polls of this server.
+ The configured delay is 2^N seconds; the default of 6 is 2^6 or 64 seconds.
+- ``maxpoll N`` sets the maximum delay between NTP polls of this server.
+ The configured delay is 2^N seconds; the default of 10 is 2^10 or 1024 seconds.
+- ``presend N`` enables pre-sending additional NTP packets if more than 2^N

+ This can help warm up ARP caches and reduce variability.
