     Indiana contains five geographical time zones. Our data center is
     located in Indianapolis, Indiana, USA. Indianapolis never leaves the
     Eastern Standard time zone. When the rest of the nation goes to
     daylight savings time we do not. Our clock's don't spring forward
     and they don't fall. This means Indianapolis observes Chicago time in
     the summer and New York city time in the winter.
     
     We want to time synchronize our servers using NTP. Can anyone explain
     the provisions NTP makes for Indianapolis like time zones. The
     external servers we select may observer daylight savings time but we
     will not. Does this represent a problem? How can we keep our clocks
     from accidentally moving to and from daylight savings time twice a
     year. I may not be very popular if this happens. Should I be
     concerned?
