im into migrating very old ntp servers by migrating their aliases into the new ntp servers. ntp.conf of the clients just points to aliases let say server ntp1 server ntp2 server ntp3 Im simulating how long will it take for the clients to pickup the new ntp servers hostname but my tests using solaris 10 an rhel 5.6. show clients are still pointing to old ntp servers even if I have migrated aliases but nslookup is ok on all clients.
But when I restarted ntpd on the client of course they immediately showed the correct new ntp servers. But its not a good idea to restart ntpd on clients across the fleet. Is there a way to make clients discover new ntp servers without restarting their deamon? Thanks!
