Secondly, I don't understand what "fudge" means and difference between
peer and server. I have read the documentation, but I am still not
sure
if I should be using my internal server's references as peer or
server.

Tualha,

I'll let those more expert to comment on the configuration files - I know nothing about authentication. Having just two external servers is not good, four is better.

As I understand it, "Server" is a box which can set its time using NTP, and respond to requests from clients. Two boxes working as "Peers" can set the time on each other, as well as behave as a "Server". But please it anyone else has a better description, please speak up.

I'd argue with the above wording. Peers don't "set" the time on each other. They can serve time to each other. Normally peers would each have at least one unique time source else peering would be pointless.
