If the MDS does not see the server's time updates for a longer period of time, it starts polling the server,
else it will not poll the server at all. Even after the poll, if the time updates are not coming, the poll
interval is reduced till it can elicit a response. The poll interval is reduced up to a minimum of 4 seconds.
