When I attempted to use xntpd in that scenario a couple of years ago, it would not play. Perhaps it has been changed since then, but it would surprise me if it could do much in that sort of window. (That's why I want to tune the kernel's timekeeping to better match reality, because I can then use ntpdate on each connection and all will be well.) However, if you think xntpd can now perform adequately even with such short and widely-spaced connections, perhaps you could say so. If so, I might give it another try.
