Does this network have external connectivity? Do you really need to
operate a "time island"?

If you don't provide the ntpd with a stable time source, or spend some
time tuning the system which will be your "server", the best you can
hope for is that the "client" will be chasing a moving "server".

Choose one system to be your "server" and configure it to use either
the Undisciplined Local Clock (127.127.0.x) or Orphan Mode (as shown in
the examples in my previous article).
# server at 192.189.19.1
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
server 127.127.1.0 minpoll 4
fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10
or
# server at 192.189.19.1
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
tos orphan 10
Configure the other system to poll your "server" (as shown in the
examples in my previous article).
# client at 192.168.19.2
driftfile /var/lib/ntp/ntp.drift
server 192.168.19.1 iburst
