Correct - it adds the DHCP supplied NTP servers to the bottom of the existing 
“/etc/ntp.conf” file (surrounded by comments).

NTP (on my systems) functions ok & will just use the additional NTP servers.  
It will decide that the local server (GPS w/PPS) is the best & use it.  No harm 
done.

Thanks,
Frank
