It would be useful to have multiple servers listed.

Here is a machine, over in Australia.

ntpq> peers
     remote              refid                   st t when poll reach   delay   
offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*europium.canoni 193.79.237.14    2 u   49   64  377  331.811  -207.01  36.624

The impact of the significant delay and jitter is that ntp will prefer
to step the time rather than slew it.

This means that I get dovecot (and other things) complaining about time
moving backwards (http://wiki.dovecot.org/TimeMovedBackwards) fairly
regularly.

It would be useful if Canonical could have a second, or third, machine
in a different data centre also configured to provide NTP service and
then have the default configuration updated to reduce the occurance of
this problem.

Thanks,
Anand

default ntp.conf should use pool.ntp.org servers
