I choose to poll 15 servers on my network for time synchronization. NTP is selecting over 10 servers and clustering them. Some of the servers NTP selects have offsets that are higher than the majority; in other words, they do not have the correct time. Why are they being selected? Why are so many being selected when I really want the best 5 or 6.
