81 systemd-timesyncd will contact all configured system or
82 per-interface servers in turn until one is found that
83 responds. When the empty string is assigned, the list of
84 NTP servers is reset, and all assignments prior to this one
85 will have no effect. This setting defaults to an empty
86 list.</para></listitem>

95 take precedence over this setting, as do any servers set via
96 <varname>NTP=</varname> above. This setting is hence only used
97 if no other NTP server information is known. When the empty
98 string is assigned, the list of NTP servers is reset,
99 and all assignments prior to this one will have no effect.
100 If this option is not given, a compiled-in list of NTP servers
101 is used instead.</para></listitem>
