The subject of time is vastly more complex than anyone ever thinks at
first look. Time servers are tiered and are themselves both clients and
servers...

So here's what you do: sync everything to your ISP's time servers.
Chances are good they do a better job than you can, just like with DNS
caching.

When you know more about the subject than you do now, you can venture
into rolling your own. I'm not being rude or funny - time servers are
just one of those things that unless you have special needs and LOTS of
cash, it is so much easier to just let someone else do all the heavy
lifting.
