I get angry when a statement is made which can easily be shown to be incorrect. What is your source for that statement? Last year you posted: >On 21 Apr 2011 16:18:39 GMT, Rob <nom...@example.com> wrote: > >>When I do a lookup of pool.ntp.org I get three addresses returned that >>are local to me. It wasn't true for David Taylor or me last year and it isn't true today. I'm in the UK. I gave up after getting 15 different IP addresses, none of them in the UK. I received IP addresses as close as France and Netherlands and as distant as Czech Republic, Slovakia, Sweden, and Switzerland. I see that David Taylor also received none UK addresses today.

Where is it stated that the location service should be giving country specific IP addresses? -- Roger _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
