This is a tad excessive, you only need 3 or 4 timeservers listed.

<http://www.pool.ntp.org/use.html>
"Be friendly. Many servers are provided by volunteers, and almost all  
time servers are really file or mail or webservers which just happen  
to also run ntp. So don't use more than three time servers in your  
configuration, and don't play dirty tricks with burst or minpoll -  
all you will gain is that this project will be stopped sooner or later."
