The big advantage of such a setup is that all your systems will agree on the same time. Locally you have short roundtrip time variations so the polls of the local NTP server have small jitter and are not affected by the loading of the internet link. It is usually more important that all systems have the same time, than that this time is very accurate. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
