I'm intending to run the NTP server behind a DD-WRT router on my cable link. The device has 16Mb ram total. Will it be enough to keep my internet connection and handle the traffic of the NTP or should I consider having a router with a bit more memory - 256MB or 1GB? I'm thinking of setting some
I really do not know. Has this router to do NAT, or is it just routing IP traffic to the public IP address assigned to your server?
I do not have any experience of running a public NTP server (in the Pool or not) behind NAT. I am running all my servers directly connected to the Internet with public IP addresses.
rate limiting PF rules on the NTP box itself as a way to prevent the basic abusers.
ntpd is doing the rate limiting by itself just fine. You do not need to have a firewall in front of it for doing rate limiting.
Would it be handy to subscribe for a dyndns service and having an extra VLAN on which to put the NTP server? Has anyone experience with running NTP
Are you running your NTP server on a dynamic IP address? If yes, then it is useless for the Pool, do not add it.
service over Wi-Fi as a medium? How you handle thunderstorms and similar hazards? I got a glass roof window through which the signal can probably pass, but I'm concerned about lightnings.
Wi-Fi most often has too much and varying latency, it sure does not help to run a public NTP server over it. Regarding the thunderstorms, are you asking about the GPS receiver? If yes, I do not worry, as mine is sitting on the outside window ledge, so there will be other parts of the building being hit by lighting. But even if you have your GPS receiver behind the roof windows, other stuff from the roof or window will be hit by lightning first.
Once you pick your servers you don't need to put extra restrict statements about them unless you want to grant the remote peer some extra privileges right?
Right. bye Fabian _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
