NTP leap second question

It appears that a leap second is scheduled. One of our customers is concerened about his application around this. Could one of you NTP wizards help me to understand NTP a bit better.

First, I wonder if we suppressed the leap second insert and time then became out of sync by a second, would NTP "creap" the time back in sync or would the one second out of sync cause it to quit?

Assuming NTP would do the "creap" thing, is there a way to tell NTP not to insert the leap second?
