You should have at least three NTP servers.   Not sure what "core
router with public access" means, but I wouldn't want anything outside
my network being able to access a service on a core router.  If you
really want to go that way, I'd suggest using a couple of 7200s that
aren't doing anything else.

I'd say the better setup* would be 3 or 5 servers running ntpd &
getting their clock from GPS or wireless cell phone towers & using
Internet time servers as a backup

* wrt price/performance.  even better would be each ntp server having
it's own high quality clock
