In RFC1119 there is a small discussion regarding loops where it is stated  
that loops are bad.  I assume that it is speaking in reference to a group  
of NTP servers all peered to one another.

My questions are:  What are loops?  Why are they bad?  If I had a group of  
four (4) servers all peered to each other is that bad?  (In this case each  
of the four are servers to a primary source.)
