I think that ntpd will still use the fallback servers. What he will get is false alarms when that server goes off the air or the network goes crazy. That may be OK if the machine is pretty solid. If it's solid, then most of the alarms are network troubles. You might want to investigate them anyway. Besides, a human can probably see if things are OK with a quick scan of the ntpq output, and that can be included in the alert email. -- These are my opinions, not necessarily my employer's.
