There's a big difference between synchronization across a LAN you control vs an internet connection. For keeping a set of machines close, a local master setup will keep them closer than each hitting the pool. You don't have to have a single point of failure. You can use just about any hierarchy you want, up to a self-healing orphan+manycast mesh.
