  [ food for thought ] ;)
  Some NTP server admins do not appreciate one data center making multiple
  connections to their server.
  Technically, if you have many machines, one of them should be running as
  an NTP server for the rest of your machines.
  Then only one of your servers, your NTP server, is making connections
  to the public NTP server.
