Hi, I have 2 sites with similar setup, each with its own NTP server. Both sites are connected so each site´ clients will use the other site´s NTP server as secondary. The NTP primary/secondary will use 2 other stratum 1 servers to sync with. A requirement is that traffic to secondary server is only sent when primary is unreachable. My question is if simply configuring the client´s primary using "server X.X.X.X prefer" in ntp.conf will accomplish this? If I understand it right ntp needs to query all servers in the server list to compute which one is the most reliable? I guess this could be OK if this querying is done very rarely.
Also, since there shouldn´t be any traffic between the sites, the primary and secondary will not sync with each other, is this a bad idea? Thanks for any suggestions...
