I know this is way off topic, but of all the lists I'm lurking on I
couldn't think of where else to go. I've tried a book here, a google
there and even played with Apple's search engine, but haven't found what
I'm looking for yet. You folks seem to know the guts of the system
pretty well ...

Hello Dave,
A little poking around reveals:
"YourBootDrive:System:Library:PreferencePanes:DateAndTime.prefPane:Contents:Resources:DateTime.prefPane:Contents:Resources:English.lproj:Localizable.strings"
It looks like you'll have to modify both this and the NIB file.
Excerpted from the Localizable.strings file above:
/* Strings used as domains to use as time servers */
/* These are NOT the names displayed in the combo box, those can be
edited in the NIB file */
/* These are the domains that actually get used when a user selects one
of the popup items */
"US_NTP_SERVER_DOMAIN" = "time.apple.com";
"ASIA_NTP_SERVER_DOMAIN" = "time.asia.apple.com";
"EURO_NTP_SERVER_DOMAIN" = "time.euro.apple.com";
I opened the NIB file in Interface Builder and poked around. It's not
immediately obvious how the pop-up ties to these strings, but perhaps
someone else can help with that.
What surprises me is that it's not easily possible to add time-servers to
that list via the user-interface.
Chris
