Isn't this greatly improved in NTP 4.2.7p22 and later? {When using the pool server option} Aren't the pool servers tossed after 10 polls without surviving clock selection and then NTP will get IPs for more pool servers? e.g. tos minclock 6 minsane 4 cohort 1 peer myNTPserverClock.example.org iburst server myNTPserverDyn.example.org iburst preempt server myISPsNTPserver1.example.com iburst server myISPsNTPserver2.example.com iburst server myUpStreamsNTPserverA.example.net iburst server myUpStreamsNTPserverB.example.net iburst pool 0.us.pool.ntp.org iburst pool 1.us.pool.ntp.org iburst pool 2.us.pool.ntp.org iburst pool 3.us.pool.ntp.org iburst -- E-Mail Sent to this address <[email protected]> will be added to the BlackLists. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
