One of our customers has 6 GPS-locked NTP servers.  Only problem is
that two of them are reporting a time that is exactly one second
different to the other four.  You shouldn't rely solely on your
GPS or DCF receiver - use it as the primary source but have some
secondary sources for sanity checks.  (From experience, I can state
that ntpd does not behave well when presented with two stratum 1
servers that differ by 1 second).
