Over at the NTP Pool we see this quite a bit. It's typical that on any one server a couple of IPs (out of thousands) are responsible for several percent of the requests. Some clients will stop when the replies stop. Others are running at the crazy query rate because they don't get the replies (broken firewall configuration, for example). I don't think have ever gotten consensus on what strategy works the best. - ask _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
