There's a big difference between synchronization across a LAN you
control vs an internet connection. For keeping a set of machines
close, a local master setup will keep them closer than each hitting
the pool. You don't have to have a single point of failure. You can
use just about any hierarchy you want, up to a self-healing
orphan+manycast mesh.
Cheers,
