This is a pretty baseless fear. The servers in the ntp pool
are constantly monitored and those that are off by more than 100ms
are quickly removed (within 2-3 hours, IIRC). Of course, if you
are already using one of those, then the removal will not help you.
But you are most likely using 3-5 servers anyways, which means ntp
will remove the "rouge" server on its own.
