You'd get less jitter with DSL.

John,
You have piqued my interest. I have just set up a Windows-8 PC with an
ntp configuration not dissimilar to Ron's, in that it's using purely
Internet servers but trying to monitor a local stratum-1 server as well.
In essence:
______________________________
# Local stratum-1 Free BSD server
server 192.168.0.3 iburst minpoll 5 maxpoll 5 prefer noselect
# Seven external servers:
server x.x.x.uk iburst
server y.y.y.uk iburst
server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 0.nl.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.nl.pool.ntp.org iburst
______________________________
The performance will appear here:

It will be interesting to see whether the Internet servers poll period
increased from 64s (I'm hoping that the 32s poll on the local server won't
affect the Internet ones), and what level of jitter is achieved.
Cheers,
David
