How about serve back bogus NTP data to non-BIX customer prefixes? Maybe if people's computers start setting themselves to the year 2004 D-Link will do something. :-)
Perhaps return back a time value that is ~10 seconds from wrapping around? Where "wrapping" depends on the size of a time value in the device's OS.
(Note that if the devices crash because of bad input, I can hardly see that as legally actionable, since the devices never had the permission to use the data source in the first place. ;)
