OK. 

I have to question the wisdom of using only one remote time server.

As has been stated elsewhere you're better off using a large enough set
of remote time servers (i.e. 4 or more) to allow NTP to detect and
discard "false-tickers" (bad clocks). Multiple time sources also provide
you with redundancy in the event of server failure/connectivity issues.

If this is a case of regulatory compliance then you really ought to have
the budget to solve the problem correctly (with GPS-synced NTP
applicances).
