I know what I mean ;) It is also recommended to add at least two more aditional severs, so if Nowell's is failing, other alternative servers will syncronize with the client. > The NTP server set by being set to all of SUSE Linux > with default comes to have to answer the demand from > a lot of clients.

If an administrator wants to syncronize his network and uses shiped SuSE NTP package, then he will find that SuSE has one available and he must also to pick one or two more servers out there. The situation now is that there is a huge amount of clients depending on free servers and pool.ntp.org. I recall a big increment in traffic because of debian using 'pool.ntp.org'. SuSE, RedHat ... and other linux companies should contribute to the effort. I think it is not difficult for them.
