Yes, Brian, the first NTP pool address I listed is from ntp.pool.org,
but it may be farther away /slower depending upon which server in the
pool answers the query.
Al, I always appreciate your suggestions, but I noticed that the
NASA NTP server is really not supposed to be publicly available:
http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/PublicTimeServer000270
Strangely, the ntp.hawaii.edu server doesn't have a stratum rating, and
I know that a few years ago, it oddly jumped forward to the year 2030:
http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/PublicTimeServer000453
In terms of ping time and likely long-term reliability, the NIST
server in LA is looking like my best option : nist1-la.ustiming.org
Sincerely,

Hi Jeff,
I got the nasa, columbia servers from some freeBSD list in a published
form. I think Mike Lucas lists some reliable ntp servers for regions in
Absolute BSD.
The pool servers are part of the problem since the IP s are from all
over. One of the guys in England tells me and shouldnt be trusted if you
need real accuracy.

Can't answer that, but Alan Whinery is behind it and it's providing

That was fast! You are SO on it, Mr. Chee! :D
Since you work with the UH IT dept., I'm not surprised you
produced a
UH server. Is this particular server _reliably_ deployed? I.e.,
will it
likely be consistently available 5 years from now? There are a lot of
devices, like phones, that I need to set a good NTP server on that I
might
not check for several years.
Thanks Brian,

Hi All!
After the new NTP DOS vulnerability, a lot of NTP servers are
changing
their operation.
I have used the navy's atomic clock at tick.mhpcc.hpc.mil for
quite
some time, but it appears that they may be reducing access to it now.
Many of my clients use RoadRunner locally, which doesn't seem to
have
a publicly-listed NTP server in this area. I could use the pool from
CentOS, or even the one from Apple, but I want to make sure I use a
server
or pool of them that won't be overwhelmed/useless like the
Microsoft NTP
servers. So far, using 0.us.pool.ntp.org looks like a solid
choice for
long-term reliability, but nist1-la.ustiming.org yields better ping
times, and the NIST has a nice status page at
http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/
servers.cgi for checking service.
Any better suggestions?
Thanks,
-Jeff
