FWIW, anytime I setup machines where keeping time in sync amongst
themselves is important (a bunch of webservers, maybe), I setup NTP so
that they all sync off of each other as well as some more authoritative
source. That way, even if you lose all your external time sources, at
least all the machines will stay sync'd to each other.
