When you use anycast, you probably don't worry about that. Anycast is good for "get an approxmate time" in environments that are more like SNTP than NTP. E.g. to set the time of a home router. For keeping accurate time and using the kernel phase locked loop, anycast is worthless. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
