It is indeed /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf. However, there is also
/etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf.d/, so one may drop local configurations
into place without mucking in timesyncd.conf.

Since systemd-timesyncd provides /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf, changes
to it will likely be overwritten on the next upgrade to
systemd-timesyncd.

I have:

root@jhegaala:~# ls /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf.d/
50localTimeServers.conf
root@jhegaala:~# cat /etc/systemd/timesyncd.conf.d/50localTimeServers.conf 
[Time]
NTP=192.168.100.12 192.168.100.6 
# File of local time servers provided via DHCP and 60ntp.
root@jhegaala:~# 

60ntp is my own script which picks up time servers from DHCP
information and which is run by Network Manager. This machine is a
laptop.
