The ntp (xntp, ntpd, xntpd) documentation is not in a unix fashion. Most (all) 
can be found at http://www.ntp.org/


If you are looking for (remote) servers, I can advise to use the "pool.ntp.org" 
construcion (http://www.pool.ntp.org/). In shourt: use "pool.ntp.org" for server 
if you use one, or use "0.pool.ntp.org", "1.pool.ntp.org" and "2.pool.ntp.org" 
if you plan to use 3 remote servers.

btw: there are also national settings, for The Netherlands (.nl) I use 
"nl.pool.ntp.org" (and "0.nl.pool.ntp.org"...) Be noted, not all nations have 
sufficient public servers to have a national pool.
