Mob timers

[Phinger]

Question...

Lets say a mob is on a 24 hr timer and is due up at noon, but the server dies like it did this morning for 8 hours. Will the mob still be up at the original spawn time (noon) or will it be delayed 8hrs?

I thought that when servers reset (get rebooted or what have you) that all the spawn timers reset as well. Pretty sure I remember people getting excited about server resets back in the day because it was a good time to go named hunting.

Very real possibility I am completely wrong though.
