NTP time server should be more local

Issue #129 resolved
IanSav created an issue

Under "MENU > Setup > System > Time Settings > NTP Server" the default, for Australia, should be au.pool.ntp.org.

If possible this default should be calculated based on the "Timezone" setting so that appropriate defaults (nearest time servers) can be selected around the world.

I believe that under the covers the DNS system should ultimately choose local servers automatically but the lookup should be faster if a local server is used as the initial search. It would also be good to see the local server reaffirmed by the default shown in the menu selections.

Regards, Ian.
