.... For myself, I usually pick the first three in us.pool.ntp.org, tick and tock, time.nist.gov, and a couple of regionally appropriate large universities.
As this week indicated, perhaps tick and tock are not sufficiently far apart to be a good redundancy choice from a geographical failover point of view or common mode failure point of view. As part of a set of 8 servers as you indicate later, perhaps ok, but I fear for people who think "Ok, I want redundancy, so... Tick and Tock." Which, it turns out, was significant quantities. -- -george william herbert george.herbert () gmail com
