If you are going to go the GPS route then why put the time server on
the firewall at all ?
Put an old box up with <operating system of choice> on your internal
network running the time server, with the GPS plugged in and use that
as your stratum 1 server for firwall et.al. ?
BTW, if you look at marine GPS recievers many work in the hull of a ship
so have a connection to an external antena getting around the recieving
in a rack problem.
I think any radio receiving clock will have trouble from the rack in
the computer room without a connection to an external antenna.
