Does it make sense to have a small local pool between the
local cluster and the internet?
A couple of venerable 'clock[1,2,...]' boxes with a single network
interface sitting on a DMZ could have a buffering effect for a thousand
boxes one NTP stratum behind them. Major co-location sites should have
some provisioning for quality local NTP time references as well.
Given the design of pool.ntp.org it makes sense for a business to
do some quality audits of ntp.org hosts and contact local high
quality ones directly.
