Ok, so the process would be to first change my config to have the two
sources as you described, then have a file that has the "ntp server" confi,
called ntp.conf.ntp1.mydomain.com and symlink it to
ntp.conf.ntp2.mydomain.com?
That is really nice.
Too bad I don't have much time to play with puppet. I know, puppet would
save me time :).
Thanks a lot!
