Start ntpmon, look at the count of localhost requests.

Stop ntpmon.

Start a new ntpmon, look at the count of localhost requests.

Note the number did not restart at zero, the number of requests is
since ntpd restarted.

Dito for other hosts in the mrulist.

Ergo: ntpd is keeping some state for remote hosts, per host.

I am not using ntpq.  And I am restarting ntpmon.  ntpmon does not
save anything to a file, so it is not saving any state.

Ergo: ntpd is keeping some state for remote hosts, per host.
