Sounds good. Try to make sure you've got a recent build of NTP, and consider posting the 'ntpq -pcrv' scoreboard for a review before joining the pool in case someone catches something. > Am I missing anything? When you speak of "internal", that generally implies a host behind a firewall or router performing NAT. An NTP server handles huge numbers of very small packets; poorly configured firewalls which attempt to preserve state for UDP connections may experience significant problems (not just extra latency).
