After I finish some reconfiguration, I'll have the embarrassment of

Good grief! What Cesium and how do they interface to your servers?
Old HP 5061As with the digital clock option; they provide a 1pps output
to use with the ATOM driver.
Is there a preferred configuration that would let the downstream box
have the benefit of the multiple stratum 1s, without jumping around?
Pick "the best" ?
server x.x.x.x prefer
That's the easy answer, assuming I know which one is "best". :-)
I guess my question may go to the fundamentals of ntp: can an NTP
server ever do better than any of the individual servers it sees? In
other words, does the algorithm blend the offset/jitter/delay
information it has to generate a concept of time based on not just one,
but the ensemble (or at least the survivors of the sanity checks), of
the available servers? If so, how best to configure that?
