Actually, one wants "3x + 1" (Byzantine fault-tolerance) servers in
order to out vote "x" bad servers, i.e., 4, 7, 10, etc.

Hi,
I wish to know that If I am providing 2 server names in ntp.conf
without "prefer" option then with which server my system will sync the

will sync with. Other thing is both the servers are at same strand
