Can ntpd run on multiple udp ports?

Hello All,
Our network engineer wants me to setup ntpd to run on multiple
service ports. Can anyone tell me if it is possible to do this? And if
so how?

Thanks in advance,

I'm not sure I understand what you mean by that. If you are asking
whether or not you can use a port different from port 123/UDP the answer
is no. If you are asking something else, please explain what you mean.

I don't think so. Not without a LOT of work. NTP uses port 123.
(Period). You send your request to port 123 on the server and you get
your answer back from port 123 on the server.

What problem is your "network engineer" trying to solve?
