I have few stratum-1 servers too, but I'm not running ntp.
What reference clock do you have? Unless it's something very rare, you
shouldn't need ntp for that. GPS receivers are well supported by gpsd
and ntpsec kept most of the ntpd drivers for hardware that is still
widely used.
I played around for a while with gpsd and never could get it to behave properly. My ref
clocks are NMEA, and I thought gpsd would be easy, but sometimes it wouldn't recognize
the PPS, other times it was off by 1 second or showed milliseconds of error. So in the
end I went back to plain ntp.
I'll try ntpsec.
