I would strongly suggest that with NTP ???more is better???. Three reference
devices is about the minimum. Five is a good target to aim for.
One suggestion I make to folk who ask is to use the "pool" directive. This
allows NTP to choose as many servers as it needs (according to a pre-configured
compile-time constant), and it will automatically drop and add servers as
needed. OK, it's a little more complicated than that but using pool is easy:
Replace the lines:
# Use pool NTP servers
server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
server 2.uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
with the single line:
# Use pool NTP servers
pool uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
if you are in the US, for example:
# Use pool NTP servers
pool us.pool.ntp.org iburst
and you can use multiple lines such as a Dutch user might have:
# Use pool NTP servers
pool nl.pool.ntp.org iburst
pool uk.pool.ntp.org iburst
