[ntp:questions] Magice Server Numbers: 4,5,7,9

[Doug Calvert]

Hello,
 From time to time people mention that the magic number of servers is
4,5,7 and nine. However I can not find a reference or explanation for
the magical properties. Can anyone explain the background/basis in
general? And specifically how is five or seven preferable to six?
