Unless it has changed recently, it steers towards an average of all
the servers that haven't been eliminated. The "best" one is only used
to set the stratum and the downstream error statistics (root distance,
and root dispersion).
At one time the averaging was weighted. I'm not completely sure if
even that is true, now.
