Hi,
The way I see this being properly implemented is the following:
Every ISP provides on one of it's routers, a NTP service for it's
clients. This server can synchronize both with ntp.ac.il, and
ntp.iix.net.il. Then, the ISP will make that server known to it's clients
(prefferably using ntp.some.isp.here format for clarity).
Thus, it will allow to have major NTP servers synch against ntp.ac.il,
and ntp.iix.net.il, and the clients of each ISP can synch to the ISPs ntp
server.
If accuracy is of great importance, ISPs may want to synch their time
servers with other NTP sources world wide. Any respectable NSP today (I am
talking about people like UUnet, MCI/WorldComm, AT&T and such) have a NTP
service available for it's clients.
