Hi,
please elaborate how then would i give access to various nntp servers to different clients on my network ?
--> you would run your own NTP server on the firewall machine. This NTP server contacts several external NTP servers to get a valid and exact network time. Your clients need to contact the NTP server on the firewall machine only. Since its internal network only, there should be no considerable time lags on the internal net so the clients need to contact only one (your firewall) NTP server.
