Apple NTP servers

Apple runs a fleet of stratum 1 NTP servers at time.apple.com. In my experience, ntpd/chronyd are very happy with them.

It looks like, instead of doing anycast, they maybe use DNS to steer you to the closest one.

time.apple.com is a CNAME for time-osx.g.aaplimg.com. Querying a handful of DNS servers, I've identified the following locations:

IP Hostname Location
17.253.2.125 usdal4-ntp-001.aaplimg.com. Dallas
