This was the same reasoning I used to end up with four different units, 
from three vendors, and mounted in different locations, on different 
subnets.

My personal favourite of the black box units is the TrueTime NTS-200, 
mostly because it is fast/stable enough to handle all the servers in my 
corporate network directly if needed.
