    I do. I have one machine connecting to 4 or 5 stratum 2 servers, then
    the others on the LAN sync with that one.

    The NTP folk say you need to have a few servers to check with because
    the propagation times across the Internet can vary widely. Without a
    number of servers, NTP can't do a very good job -- comparing and
    selecting is the whole idea.
