Okay, so here's the architecture we're looking at:
A redundant pair of stratum 2 servers (call them A and B) located in
close phyiscal proximity to one another that will be serving time to a
group of hosts across a high-speed WAN. There is also an addional
low-stratum server (call him C) located on another WAN that I could use
as a back-up in the event of a communication loss to A and B (If I lose
comms to one, I'll likely lose comms to both). So what I've got is:
C------------------------
|
|
A------\
|
|
\ |
| | ------------------WAN-------------------Router/host
| /
B-------/
Please admire my 733t ASCII skillz.
The configuration (on a Cisco Router) will look similar to:
/server A prefer
server B prefer
server C
/I know that this is a long way from an optimal configuration, but can
you all see any glaring issues with the configuration? Could you
suggest a better alternative? I've got a co-worker that is conviced
that if C offers up a time that is radically different from A and B,
we'll have problems. Any thoughts?
Thanks a million,
