We use "-L" on hosts with hundreds of virtual IPs to avoid errors about "out of file descriptors". We also use "-I address" on multi-homed hosts to attempt to ensure that ntpd is only listening on the private side and is not even bound to the port on the public side. Since there are no warnings for -I usage, we've never moved away from them. We use "restrict" statements to allow access from our CIDR blocks for ntp clients, monitoring, and response packets back from "server" statements. Let me know if you need additional information about how we use these features.
