a stratum 9 should be sufficient for all your clocking needs (if you are not splitting the atom), especially if you setup an ntp server and have all your other servers sync of that local data source.

Thanks, all mine are st 2 and above. Can I set one to be stratum 1? Or do I need to actually find one that's stratum 1?

Question: How can I verify this?I presume you're using the standard ntpd program, (often called xntpd) and not OpenBSD's OpenNTP. I typically use the ntpdc utility. The command you would use is "peers".

I've always used ntpq. The two commands appear almost identical. Any idea what the difference is or if one is actually better than the other?
