Hi Jiri, Mexico is a big country with (almost!) no NTP servers.
I think what happens is that there’s a struggling NTP server that whenever the system thinks it works okay immediately gets overloaded and then drops out for a while. I need to update the system so it handles this better; basically have it not use just the servers in Mexico (and other underserved countries) when they’re available. Hopefully this will make it easier to participate in the pool in some of these underserved countries so we can build up a base of local servers. I’ve been thinking about it for a while, so thank you for the nudge. I want to more generally revise the system for how the servers are chosen and also make more specific options for NTP and SNTP clients and for NTP clients using the ‘pool’ configuration (or something equivalent).
