<div>We have an IPSEC peer that keeps dropping the
tunnel and renegotiating. The only events in the logs
on their side that look like they could be related are
a fairly constant NTP update which is causing their
Netscreen to adjust by between 3 and 13 milliseconds
every ten minutes. Would this cause the tunnel to
renegotiate when the clock changed? It seems to
happen on the half hour every half hour, or every
three NTP updates.</div>
