I'm sorry, I was writing this in Google Groups web interface.
Maybe I didn't explain myself correctly: I don't want to use external time sources, only NTP,
with the best tuning (and not tunning :D) possible. But I do have access to four stratum 1 servers, using
GPS and PPS inputs, which I use as servers to synch my hosts to.
Kind Regards,
Pedro
