When Turk Telecom did just that and referenced their ADSL routers to the ntp pool, everybody was talking badly about them. Now that someone else (probably in the same situation, easy to have 1M customers as an internet provider in a middlesized country) is trying to solve the problem himself, you are suggesting him to do the same as Turk Telecom did? _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
