What OS are your hosts running? If it's Windows, millisecond, not microsecond accuracy will be what you can get at best when syncing over the network.
A mixture of linux flavours and solaris. For the linux hosts I have a little more control over which version of ntpd I deploy. For the solaris ones, the stock version is ancient, not sure I have much control over that one but it could be raised if necessary.
If you really need microsecond, I suspect you will be looking at a GPS receiver or two at each site, and distributing the PPS (pulse per second) signal to each host, and praying that the hosts have a serial port connection!
Well that's the rub - some of them don't :) If nothing else it might inform new hardware purchases though. Some of these sites vary in their willingness to allow GPS antenas on roofs as well, joy.
