Let me answer that separately. > How do you select which server to prefer? Absent any detailed knowledge of the stratum-1 servers, network topology, etc, I'd simply map them: NTP1 prefers S1-1; NTP2 prefers S1-2; NTP3 prefers S1-3, and they all peer with each other. Each of the stratum-2s will have a different preferred stratum-1 so they have maximum diversity of upstream sources.
