Ok - so something more specific this time.

We are talking about a firewall farm. We want the time to be sync'ed 
between all of the firewalls. Logs go to a central logging server. 
Reason for the sync'ing, to ensure that time is accurate across all of 
the firewalls in order to facilitate forensics and event correlation.

In your opinion - should we have a battery backed-up clock on these 
firewalls or is the network time source sufficient?

Brian
