You missed reading the documentation. Go do it.
Hint: Setup a NTP network among your servers, choose the three with best NTP
performance (which means the least variance on network latency and processor
clock). Peer these three, and make each one of them connect to
pool.ntp.org. Slave all others to these three at the same time, and NOT to
pool.ntp.org.
