Pinging a server on the Internet isn't really the problem, as long as nobody 
get's T'd off on getting a ping on a daily basis. All I want is a script that 
will continually send a ping to <some server>, then when the Internet 
connection is up, and it gets a positive response from the server, will then 
run /usr/local/bin/ntp-restart, and terminate the ping. This will then 
restart the ntp daemon, and all of the servers listed in /etc/ntp.conf will 
be polled.

At the moment when the ntp daemon is started at bootup on FC2, I get varying 
results. Post bootup I connect to the Internet, and sometimes just one of the 
six timeservers is listed when running ntpq> pe, and sometimes 4 of the 
timeservers are listed, but never the 6. If I do an /etc/init.d/ntpd stop, 
followed by an /etc/init.d start, then run ntpq, I see all 6 Internet 
timeservers listed.

There is a problem with the ntp daemon, at least on FC2, when no Internet 
connection is available at bootup.
