Maybe it should be a combined feature where you can specify a minimum and maximum burst length. The client will try at least the minimum number of polls and then until it gets a reply up to the maximum specified number. Both clipped to 8. It should send the next poll immediately when it gets a reply, and after a second or so when it gets no reply. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
