I just use the pool.ntp.org round robin for two machines, but I should
probably have one slave off the other.

Fixing the service was the solution I realize so just take this
as an inconsequential suggestion. I have one host chime off three
external clocks then have my other internal hosts chime off of
that. This way I'm not abusing the free to the public servers
and my local machines have a better chance of being in sync with
each other.
