ntpd really expects to have multiple servers. The intended use of pool.ntp.org is to have multiple instances of it in the config file; each one should resolve to a different server. > > It should find beter servers while running, not? > > i don't know how it works :) I don't either, but from what I've read on the mailing list, the latency to the time server is really actually pretty irrelevant to how NTP works; having a server a long way away only matters if you need REALLY REALLY accurate (talking less than tenths of a second here) readings. For general use, just about any server will work. -- adamw
