Pretty sure you're thinking of LMG CTMs that would lock up due to NTP
request overload. I think they found it was counterfeit RAM causing most
of those problems...?

The Motorola cluster managers could be an NTP server. They had load
limits and would crash if you hit them too hard, but if you used it as
a source for 1 or 2 servers and then distributed time to other
machines from there then you would not overload it.
I'm not sure about the modern CMMx

Subject: [AFMUG] GPS'd NTP
I've got a few CentOS machines running around the network doing
various tasks, one being NTP for radios, routers, switches, etc. I've
been having some issues with us.pool.ntp.org lately. I switched to
time-(a,b,c,d).nist.gov. Apparently those are pretty busy.
So is anyone else using GPS to feed NTPd? From what I've been
reading, I guess I need a 1PPS capable receiver. Does that exist in a
simple USB package? That would be ideal, preferably with an SMA
female for an external antenna where needed. Looks like none of the
cheap shit I'm finding on Amazon has PPS output.
