Does your firewall have a NTP proxy? If you are using a generic UDP proxy,
then you will have problems. Since most (all?) firewalls without NTP proxies
do not allow transparent UDP packets, you are out of luck.

Normally, what you do is point your linux box to the firewall, the firewall to
a stratus 1 server and all works fine. The firewall syncs with the status 1
servers and your private network syncs with your firewall.
