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.
