Hello,

I have an application which uses NTP for clock synch.  Each network upon which 
this application runs has one or more IRIG-B Stratum 1 NTP servers (embedded, 
not ntpd).  The remaining hosts on the network are synch'd directly to those 
stratum 1 servers.  All of those hosts are Windows 7 running ntpd 4.2.6 p3.

I would like to be able to predictably have the Windows clients indicate out of 
synch if they poll and are unable to connect to any of the servers.  Given a 
network of clients that are up for 10 hrs or so (so their confidence in the 
servers if high) I am getting varying results.  Some indicate unreachable and 
drop the asterisk from the tally code.  Others still stay in sys.peer seemingly 
indefinitely.  I am puzzled as to why this would be the case.

So the question is:  Is there a way to have a running (and currently 
synchronized) ntpd client stop indicating synch when it can not poll any of its 
servers?

Thanks in advance for any ideas.

Regards,
Neal
