The latter.  For some reason time.nist.gov isn't
responding to NTP queries.

   $ sntpclock `dnsip time.nist.gov` | clockview
   sntpclock: warning: unable to read clock: timed out
   before: 2004-12-14 09:42:43.589257000000000000

Use a different server.

   $ sntpclock `dnsip us.pool.ntp.org` | clockview
   before: 2004-12-14 09:45:51.076096000000000000
