Hi,
  Since you will be using machines in the DMZ to query over internet,
perhaps you might want to consider using the 3 servers you mentioned to act as a proxy 
for querying the time servers. The proxy will only accept connections from internal 
time servers and forwards them out.
  Just a suggestion,tho
