Let's assume I upgrade to a newer version that accepts the "source"
keyword. Then how about this config?
Is there are risk of too many internal servers picking other internal
servers to sync their time - and not enough servers using external
sources? Should I skew the selection using "prefer" with the external
servers?
Ideally, I'd like most of my NTP servers to use the public pool most of
the time. The peers are there "just in case". But if some of my servers
sync up preferentially to some other internal servers, that's fine.
