Please understand that is not how multicast works. The clients are
passive and only receive multicast packets from the server (modulo the
authentication keydance).

IPv4 and IPv6 multicast work in the latest ntp-dev release. Please note
however that you must set up authentication on both the client and the
server unless you explicitly disable authentication on the client.

This is wrong. ntpq can only request information about a specific host.
