Tom Smith wrote to me offline about internal server peering, and I want to post
some here (with his permission) to get further feedback on it. What do you think
of his idea to use server declarations to handle better the case of Internet
connection outage?
You may peer between local servers, but it is important that
you have fewer peers on each server than real clock sources.
Otherwise, the peers can start following one other rather than
the real clocks. If I have 4 low stratum servers configured,
I generally try to have no more than 2 peers. In fact, I usually
use server rather than peer declarations, because "peer" establishes
a bidirectional server relationship, which can unintentionally
multiply the number of server/peers. For example, you might
configure server declarations among the 4 local servers as
follows:
A->B,C
B->C,D
C->D,A
D->A,B
TIA for more insight,
Joachim
