I realize this, but I prefer to have a reference nearby, even if ST2 just to validate an ST1.  It has happened that the ST2 servers ejected a ST1 one that drifted away.

Of course, ntp.rice.edu.  I should've guessed it.

ntp.okstate.edu is not as close as time.uh.edu, but as close as ntp.rice.edu and much closer to my site than colorado.edu.
