Yeah, and then get several seconds error (I checked).
Yes of course, it is not meant for regular operation. It is the last-ditch option, only meant for that situation where no other server can be reached, temporarily. Used to be the default in openSUSE, btw.
Fiddling with multiple servers would be too much effort for me - for a single PC or a small network with no local time source, I would probably just add the local and pool.ntp.org.
I use the pool, no complications: server 127.127.1.0 # local clock (LCL) - I did not write these two entries fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 # LCL is unsynchronized server hora.ngn.rima-tde.net # my ISP server telcontar.valinor iburst # my desktop - perhaps I should remove this one; done server 0.opensuse.pool.ntp.org iburst server 1.opensuse.pool.ntp.org iburst #server 2.opensuse.pool.ntp.org iburst #server 3.opensuse.pool.ntp.org iburst server 0.pool.ntp.org server 1.pool.ntp.org server 2.pool.ntp.org server 3.pool.ntp.org server 0.ch.pool.ntp.org server 0.fr.pool.ntp.org server 0.uk.pool.ntp.org server 0.es.pool.ntp.org server 1.ch.pool.ntp.org server 1.fr.pool.ntp.org server 1.uk.pool.ntp.org server 1.es.pool.ntp.org It is no complication at all.
