    You missed reading the documentation. Go do it.

    Hint: Setup a NTP network among your servers, choose the three with best NTP
    performance (which means the least variance on network latency and processor
    clock). Peer these three, and make each one of them connect to
    pool.ntp.org. Slave all others to these three at the same time, and NOT to
    pool.ntp.org.
