If you want help, you shouldn't munge anything. We can't tell what's an
error and what's the munging.

Anyway you seems to find the culprit.

I believe it shows that you've run into the bug that Danny mentioned recently: The client sends a query to ntp2.<mydomain>, but gets the response from server2.<mydomain>, i.e. presumably a different IP address on the same host. The client will not (and should not) be interested in responses coming from what it sees as "someone else". The same effect will apply to the intra-server/peer queries.

If that's the case you need to upgrade the two ntp servers to the latest
development release which solves this problem.


Aha. Yes, that sounds like a reasonable explanation! I guess this is the caveat of UDP, since the reply have to come in separate connection? Yes that's make sense.

The server will reply on the same socket. If the server is using the
wildcard socket then it will have any address. The latest release
disallows the use of the wildcard sockets, it will drop the packets.

I make the ntp server addresses on secondary address of each machines, since I am planning to move things around later, in creating high-availability system around here. I guess it just won't work with ntp? Can I make sure ntp server only work on one IP of an interface?

ntpd -L if
in the latest development release will allow you to specify an
interface, but not an IP address.
