My trusted server, cited in the firewall DMZ, alas, has not been available.
It is not possible to put the "pool" into DMZ since each hit is another IP, so
enable outside the DMZ, use the pool and works just fine.

You can put multiple servers in the /etc/ntp.conf (and /etc/default/
ntpdate) file.

Based on your email address, you seem to be located in Israel. If
so, do "host il.pool.ntp.org". That will give you the IP addresses
of a small number of nearby ntp servers. Put three of them as
servers in your /etc/ntp.conf and your /etc/default/ntpdate files,
and mention all three as trusted in your firewall DMZ.

That should prevent this from happening to you again. If one of the
servers goes down for a while, the other two will still be there.

PS: Of course, this same thing works for other countries as well.
For example, "us.pool.ntp.org" is -- predictably -- quite large.
