An interesting possibility for me. The service needs some improvements.
1. Your offset and delay values are mix up on the plot.
2. The value you are using for delay is ntpdate filter delay. It is not the 
round trip time. Try ntpdate -q to itself. You will get some value (~ 25 ms) 
which needs to be substracted from all this filter delays.
3. Your server is stratum 2. It would be advisable and interesting to see 
simultaneously also its offset plot (besides a few words about your service 
arrangement).
