An archetecture question....

Okay, so here's the architecture we're looking at:
A redundant pair of stratum 2 servers (call them A and B) located in 
close phyiscal proximity to one another that will be serving time to a 
group of hosts across a high-speed WAN.  There is also an addional 
low-stratum server (call him C) located on another WAN that I could use 
as a back-up in the event of a communication loss to A and B (If I lose 
comms to one, I'll likely lose comms to both).  So what I've got is:

                                             C------------------------

A------\                                                                       
|

|             
\                                                                     |

|              | ------------------WAN-------------------Router/host

|              /

B-------/
Please admire my 733t ASCII skillz.
The configuration (on a Cisco Router) will look similar to:
/server A prefer
server B prefer
server C
/I know that this is a long way from an optimal configuration, but can 
you all see any glaring issues with the configuration?  Could you 
suggest a better alternative?  I've got a co-worker that is conviced 
that if C offers up a time that is radically different from A and B, 
we'll have problems.  Any thoughts?

Thanks a million,
