Indeed. But the point was that a server gone bad could make your time
way off. With multiple servers, if one server gives the wrong time, this
is detected, and the server is unused for a while.
For the reliability of _access_ to the server, it won't help much,
because all servers are on the other end of this meager adsl-line.
But indeed, time is of no critical importance to me, so maybe I should
just remove a few of the servers.
