All, I have a distributed application that runs across 5 servers and I am trying to determine the best NTP configuration. I want to have 2 nodes in the cluster sync with external NTP servers and the remaining nodes in the cluster use those 2 in a client-server configuration. Configuration of those nodes is pretty straight-forward.
My issue is that the 2 servers that will be connected to external NTP references need to stay in sync because they are running an element of the application in active-standby mode. My question is this: should I configure the 2 cluster time servers as peers or should I have the backup for the application element associate with the primary as a client. >From my reading, it seems like the literature leans toward peering but I don't >know if that provides the greatest degree of assurance that these clocks will >stay closely synchronized. Thanks for your response, - Steve _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
