For small players, less than 4 sites, typically just use the NTP pool servers, configuring 4 per box minimum. If you want the same protection I just outlined in the paragraph before, make 4 of your servers talk to the outside world, and make everything else talk to those. Want to give back to the community?

Choosing the first four servers is usually pretty straightforward: *.CC.pool.ntp.org But beyond that, I'm honestly rather curious what server selections are a good idea. A first thought would be an adjacent country, but maybe there is a benefit to picking things outside of the pool.ntp.org selection entirely? I see that Jared used *.fedora.pool.ntp.org -- I wonder if there was a specific reason for that or if my questions are even worth thinking about at all :-). Happy to hear thoughts. -- Darius Jahandarie
