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

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