My best results so far have been to have one node on my network sync to |
| 11 |
pool.ntp.org, and to have all other nodes on my network sync to that one |
| 12 |
node. Short of having a stratum 1 time server on my network, that seems |
| 13 |
to work the best; done that way, my nodes are within a few milliseconds |
| 14 |
of each other, near as I can figure. |

For contrast, having all nodes sync to pool.ntp.org results in time |
| 17 |
variance of up to 2-3 minutes across a dozen or so machines. |
