Question about NTP via DHCP - RFC 2132

Hi Roy,
I'm not an expert about this topic and I have a question about NTP via DHCP
as described in RFC 2132.
Basically, my device with dhcpcd 8.1.x (or later when released) must use a
NTP server via DHCP if provided, otherwise it must use an external server
as a fallback.
This behaviour is an external requirement and I have to check if it's
currently working in this way, but I really don't know how.

How can I check if this behaviour is right? How can I specify a working NTP
server via dhcpcd and check if it will have higher priority than external
servers.

I'm sorry for the bad explanation, but I don't have other information,
because for me this topic is totally new.

Thanks,
Stefano
