Sort of! Two servers is generally a poor choice. If they differ, as they inevitably will, which one should you believe? 'Prefer' will tell your client which one to believe but with a couple more servers ntpd should be able to figure out which one is closest to being correct! _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
