Just wondering w.r.t KoD packets. What does the standard software return in the various Timestamp fields when it sends a KoD packet? Perhaps a "known bogus" timestamp could be included in the packet so that software that ignores the Stratum field of 0 will tend to cause the software to set itself to a known bad date [1] . [1] Say 2000-10-13 13:13:13 or something. Actually if someone could write a perl/python script that just returned that date in KoD mode then it might be easy for server operators to redirect queries from abusive IPs to that server. -- Simon J.
