All, I have recently started peering two of my NTP servers. One is a primary server, the other only has Internet-based sources of synchronisation. They are attached to the same LAN, which is lightly loaded, as are the servers themselves (CPU usage rarely exceeds 1% and there is little disk activity).
Quite often though, the association misses a beat (e.g. the reach number reported by ntpq -p is 376 or another combination of mostly 1s and few 0s). I would expect to see this in the presence of packet loss, but I really don't think that that is the case here. Note that I have clamped both maxpoll and minpoll to 6 on both sides (because otherwise the problem was even worse, whenever the two peers did not agree on the poll interval). Is this a problem? (One server is running ntpq [EMAIL PROTECTED] under Linux 2.4.20 on a P4, the other ntpq [EMAIL PROTECTED] under Linux 2.4.31 on a soekris Geode).
