Dear Noam, NTP servers are clueless about timezone. They only tell the time in UTC. It is your local Operating System that knows about timezone, and adjusts the time by it. As such, no NTP server will ever know when the local time was moved to daylight savings time and back. NTP servers are universal, and anyone can sync with any NTP server, be it here or in Timbaktu.
