So here we go. I'm going to use the official NTP cookbook. If you look
at the attributes here:

https://github.com/opscode/cookbooks/blob/master/ntp/attributes/default.rb

You'll see what default NTP servers are applied in this template here:

https://github.com/opscode/cookbooks/blob/master/ntp/templates/default/ntp.conf.erb#L15-17

If you want to override those per-environment (assuming you were on
chef 0.10.0), you would do something like this:

`knife environment create production`

with the following contents:

https://gist.github.com/2547bc4d572f7a1e046b

Now any node that's assign the "production" environment would get
those servers instead.

I may have fatfingered something in the JSON as I didn't actually push
the changes out to my servers.
