Hello Everyone I know, this is not strictly pool related stuff (but at least one of the server provides NTP over IPv6 to the pool :))
I'm running a virtualized environment with xen. Nothing big. One machine, one Windows guest and ~3 linux guests... Now, in xen 4.1 wallclock was removed (because it seems to have caused problems anyway). Not beeing aware of that fact I was one day wondering about the time offsets on the guests (the Dom0 was running on ntp anyway). The only solution to reliably synchronize times on virtual machines on the same host now seems to be to run ntp. No big issue! (This is just the back story and might help someone else with the same issues in the future). Now, since I have to set up ntp on all the guests anyway, I've been thinking about how to best configure the system. I've found out, that the systems can be configured as peers. What's the difference if I configure the servers as peer or if I just put all the servers into each other configuration files as servers? Another point I did not understand from the configuration under http://doc.ntp.org/4.1.1/assoc.htm It says there, that if the configuration is only on peer for one side, the other will automatically also per with that server (if not restricted). Does this mean, that a peer will be accepted, even if there is no server-line for that host? And: If I have "nopeer" in the restict line: is this overridden, if I configure one other server as peer? Sorry, if the questions are not clear enough. Please ask, if there is something not clear. best regards Marco / kruemi http://www.pool.ntp.org/user/kruemi
