What is the advantage of off-host servers? why not use the host as (single) time-source for all virtual client machines? I figured: - host and all clients stay sync'ed, even if host has the wrong 'absolute' time - host and clients have minimal round-trip time - host is always available (must be, with my 'static' virtual configuration) - if host network connection is lost (for a moment), so is the connection of the virtual clients to off-host servers - host is trusted by the virtual clients not to be a false-ticker (host is configured with 'enough' other servers) What is wrong or missing in my reasoning? Or does my reasoning only apply to my specific situation? (I am not very familiar with all specifics of different types of VMs.) BTW the host is in the pool and I use kvm/qemu for the virtual machines.
