  You could check out the Spectracom NetClock Model 9489, which although is 
primarily a GPS stratum one device, also has Ethernet input for stratum 2 
operation. It has a TCXO as LO, but with  S1 servers upstream should easily 
keep to the FIRNA constraints that I have been able to dig up. Any unloaded 
(other than NTP) micro server will get there as well. Mixing NTP with 
production loads never works.
