I found a similar article myself (I don't remember the URL though).  I have
had it running for quite some time (well -- a week or so).  I didn't see
that it recommends you use more than one server to sychronize with.  I am
currently using 4 public servers.

That looks like a pretty decent article.  It, like the rest, fail to inform
you how to run your new server as a time server for the rest of your
network.  I can ntptrace ot it on the local machine, but it won't respond to
other clients on my LAN.

I suggest: http://freebsddiary.org/xntpd.html

One problem I had was having to create an /etc/localtime as there
wasn't one on the machine to begin with. Symlinking it to my city
in /usr/share/zoneinfo/etc/etc works great in combination with the
processes described in the above article.
