I do something similar. I have one machine that polls several public
NTP servers a few times a day. For local timekeeping, I run timed on
machines. The machine doing the NTP polling, the timed master, runs,
'timed -F localhost', and most of the others just run 'timed' with no
args.
xntpd for local machines (on one LAN) seems like it might be overkill
when timed and similar options are available.
Just my $0.02.
