Except that the NAT rule traversal is _much_ higher priority/faster than the loacl NTP timestamp. :-( Terje -- - <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> "almost all programming can be viewed as an exercise in caching" _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
