Here is my ntp.conf file:
server ntp.ucsd.edu #server pool.ntp.org driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift restrict default nomodify nopeer restrict 127.0.0.1
Since I live in San Diego it only makes sense for me to use ntp.ucsd.edu.
As you probably already know, you need to have the daemon ntpd running so that it can sync with the time server.
I do not believe that it really makes a difference what server you go to, they all give out the time as GMT. It is better to find one near you, but you could use ntp.ucsd.edu to see if that helps.
For the east coast you could use the following: ~ bonehed.lcs.mit.edu The web page for this server is: http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/BonehedLcsMitEdu
For a list of all ntp servers you can go to:
