What, if anything, leads you to believe that "server1" or "server2" are 
actually running NTP, are connected to the network, etc, etc?

What happens if you say:
ping serveri
ping server2
??

Getting a response to ping will show that they are connected to the 
network, have network software installed, etc, etc.  If they respond to 
ping but not to nptq, that would suggest that ntpd is not running.
