There are two stratum 1 time servers on campus (ntp.on.canet.ca -- Lee
preferred that people not sync to this one) and ntp.astro.  There are a 
couple of stratum 2 servers that peer to both on and off-campus servers 
(ferut.sys and madhaus.utcs, I believe).   At CDF, we sync with
the two stratum 2 servers I mentioned, plus ntp.astro.  Because of the wise
counsel of ferut.sys and madhaus.utcs :-), xntpd on our systems has been
smart enough to figure out not to bother with ntp.astro lately.

Ideally, we should have another clock/stratum 1 timeserver on campus.  

Regards,

John
