I played around with this recently. We had one NTP server, run by networking. But, it is unreliable. And, this was causing problems.

 

 

And, since...ntp recommends that you have at least 3 servers.

 

 

I tried to setup NTP on both the active and standby units...and use the unit self IPs (and adding 123/UDP to the allowed list for the port lockdown). Which seemed to work for servers not behind the F5. But, servers behind the F5, can only reach the active unit.
