...because it is a box typically in the core of the network that is 
probably already always available and sync'ed up to the world.  No harm 
in letting it distrubute the time to the servers/switches on the LAN 
rather than increasing your workload in maintaining a one or two 
dedicated boxes (including the juice and possible OS hassles).
