Ok - so something more specific this time.

We are talking about a firewall farm. We want the time to be sync'ed
between all of the firewalls. Logs go to a central logging server.
Reason for the sync'ing, to ensure that time is accurate across all of
the firewalls in order to facilitate forensics and event correlation.

In your opinion - should we have a battery backed-up clock on these
firewalls or is the network time source sufficient?
