But that It will synchronize to a mixture of the times from all three servers, but weighted in favour of the stratum 1 one, I believe. Although it only reports one server as reference source, it actually makes use of timing information from several of them. > being the case, what is the use of the two stratum-2 servers, assuming > that the stratum-1 server will not go off-line? They can outvote the stratum one server if it is giving the wrong time. Note that some people reckon that you need four servers for this to work reliably. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
