Thanks for the quick reply.
So if I configure /etc/ntp.conf as
server=server_A
server=server_B
now if server_A goes down, will client automatically adjust the time using server_B?
Moreover, does it require any other config changes?

chrony.conf
chrony.conf(5) Configuration Files chrony.conf(5)
NAME
chrony.conf - chronyd configuration file
SYNOPSIS
/etc/chrony.conf
DESCRIPTION
chrony is a pair of programs for maintaining the accuracy of computer clocks. chronyd is a background daemon program that can be started at
boot time.
Assuming that you have found some servers, you need to set up a configuration file to run chrony. The (compiled-in) default location for
this file is /etc/chrony.conf. Assuming that your ntp servers are called `a.b.c' and `d.e.f', your chrony.conf file could contain as a
minimum
server a.b.c
server d.e.f
server g.h.i
However, you will probably want to include some of the other directives described in detail in the documentation supplied with the distri-
bution (chrony.txt and chrony.texi). The following directives will be particularly useful : `driftfile', `commandkey', `keyfile'. The
smallest useful configuration file would look something like
server a.b.c
server d.e.f
server g.h.i
keyfile /etc/chrony.keys
commandkey 1
driftfile /etc/chrony.drift
