Do NOT under any circumstances use a load balancer. It will result in unstable and unusable results because the data from different physical servers will give different NTP timestamp data. The IP addresses need to be the same for each request/response as previous ones. You additionally need at least 4 different servers configured by the client and then NTP will figure out the best data and discipline the clock.
