Q: DNS redirect for time.apple.com NTP

I am currently investigating a issue my Company is having with the iPod touch devices. The issue is when a ipod has lost it charge, it has a date of time from 1970. To resolve the issue, the ipod device would use another wifi like a hotspot to sync time.

 

The time.apple.com DNS entry is relayed in our corp network to the domain controller serving NTP.

I am looking to validate that this is proper practice to get the ipod touch to query time off the Company AD controller or if by design the ipod touch device requires to communicate to the actual Apple servers serving NTP.
