They have more control over NTP traffic (and possible abuse or other issues) if they support the pool with dedicated resources. Another reason might be that NTP traffic to an IP can stay for a long time after you stop being a customer. The next customer obtaining your former IP may not like the residue NTP traffic. In this, NTP is different from other traffic. But then, I am no hosting provider and make no use of one's services. I just pass on what I encountered and suggest to check with your hosting provider. Further, I really don't care ;-) Kind regards, Arnold _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
