Why do we want/need port forwarding?
The idea is to move everything else to a different port so the only
traffic on port 123 is requests for the server.
If the client side opens a socket for each server, that gets a default
random local port. The replies will come back to that port/socket rather
than port 123.
I don't have a good plan for mode6/ntpq traffic. If we put the data into
shared memory, we can write a version of ntpq that looks there. Maybe
it's time for SNMP. (as much as I hate that sort of stuff)
