I also notice our servers successfully contacting official time references centres which are not those sites trying to connect to us. I notice too the installed time software is listening on every available IP. I can not identity any options in any configuration files to turn-off this listening.
ntpd shipping with CentOS 6 has an option "-I iface"; see "man 8 ntpd". Edit "/etc/sysconfig/ntpd" accordingly. ntpd shipping with CentOS 5 does not have that and thus always binds to all available interfaces.
Thanks,
