David,

Hint: Look at the flash bits and clock discipline time constant (rv hpoll) for the associations involved. I bet you find 10 on both machines and then something else has clamped down on the 64-s poll.

Depending on phasing and poll interval, it might (and does) happen
that during a poll interval one peer will see none, one or two polls
from the other peer. That is normal and does not affect the
synchronization function. Sometimes as the poll interval ramps up
more than one interval may go by without an arriving packet. In the
expected case where the peers are low in the stratum forest and the
highest reliability is needed, it probably is a good idea to clamp
the maxpoll to the default minpoll.

Dave,

Thanks for that. I can see that the phasing could make the numbers 0, 1 or 2 polls, just depending. What I'm not quite so clear about with peered servers is how a server can show a poll interval of 1024s against an external server, and yet 64s against a peered server which is just starting up, and therefore has an interval of 64s against its own external servers.

It probably really means I don't understand exactly peering works! "One server can set the time of the other" is what I think I know.

73,
David
