Well, can't help you with that but since you're distributing time from
one server to a bunch of others you could use ntpd's broadcasting
feature.
Saves a lot of overhead.
If you want to give it a try put
# values for production environment
server your.primary.time.source minpoll 10 maxpoll 12
# t-online's time server in my case
#server ntp1.sul.t-online.de minpoll 10 maxpoll 12
broadcast 172.16.1.255 minpoll 10
in your servers ntp.conf and (if i recall it right) either
enable bclient
or
broadcastclient
in your clients ntp.conf.
