Okay, I only have one timeserver,
I meant that your on-site time server should be relying on only one other outside time server, one stratum up.

Only one server on a given LAN should be running ntpd. It's overkill for every machine to keep themselves synced with such a complex and fussy server. All the others should just call ntpdate or msntp every hour or so as a cron job to keep their own time close to that of the LAN time server's.
