This is very simple to do. It does not require SRV records to implement.
Note that I am only answering for the ntp reference implementation.
In your domain file add entries like this:
locationntp CNAME ntp1.yourdomain
CNAME ntp2.yourdomain
CNAME externalntp.otherdomain
CNAME externalntp.someotherdomain
In your ntp.conf file put the following line:
pool locationntp.yourdomain
This will cause it to use ALL of the entries listed. You can have as
many as 10 entries in your DNS and it will use all of them. Don't use
less than 3, 4 is better.
Simple enough?
Danny
