Only the first one of these seems to be running an ntp server accessible from
my location.

For what it is worth I do not use multicast.

They are used before ntp starts to perform a coarse time correction
using ntpdate.

The below simply tells us that none of these machines is reachable as an
ntp server. Have you checked your firewall rules?

No, you don't set up a cron job. It is all taken care of in ntpd.
