I use the following:
server first_nearby_stratum2_server
server second_nearby_stratum2_server
server third_nearby_stratum2_server
fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 4
driftfile /etc/ntp.drift
ie. I run at stratum 3 using upto three level 2 servers
If I can't talk to any (ie link to internet broken) I use my local
clock at level 4. This will keep all the machines I serve in
sync, if not accurate.
Use a driftfile to allow xntpd to resync quickly after reboots.
If all/the majority of machines on a single subnet will sync to
this machine you may want to add a broadcast line.
For a list of publicly available stratum 1 and 2 servers see
