Actually, this can cause problems for ntpds operating in symmetric mode, where 
both the source and destination ports are UDP/123.  Allowing inbound UDP/123 - 
UDP/123 and then rate-limiting it would be one approach; another would be to 
block outbound UDP/123 emanating from customers based upon packet size, if 
one's hardware allows matching on size in ACLs.
