All, Here is what we are after doing. Our networks team provides us with a stratum 2 NTP server to use as well as our ISP providing us with 3 stratum 1 NTP servers. Ideally I would like a set of 4 peers run by me syncing from the stratum 2 server provided on-site (since that gets it data from the stratum 1 provided by the ISP) to reduce the load on the stratum 1 servers. Unfortunately there are times when the on-site NTP server goes a bit askew and steps out by up to 120ms (which isn't too good for our uses).
So there comes the problem I think I would like to introduce one of the off-site stratum 1 servers on to my group of 4 internal peers, but I would like to prefer the on-site server to the off-site server until it steps majorly out of line (say more than 0.8ms). At the moment there is constant jumping between the on-site and off-site servers if I have them both listed even with less than .8ms of difference. Anyone able to help with this? If I can provide any further information please feel free to ask. -- James 'BR' Ray. >From address expires 10 days after end of month. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
