having 2 GPS sources and 4 peers to each other (see below the setup),
When turning on 5th and 6th peers, they disturb my setup.
Is it possible to restrict to those 4 peers only and send time to stratums 
lower than 2 as well? (example shown below
with partial solution and error on stratum3 client).

I also find this difficult to understand. However, I think the issue is the that the "annoying" peers aren't real peers, they are clients misconfigured as peers.

My understanding is that you should use authentication, combined with restrict nopeer, to prevent this happening.

Refid = peer is not normally correct.

#----------------------------
restrict default noquery nomodify notrap

No nopeer.


setting for annoying  local-annoying.c1:

peer xx.xx.xx.a2 key 2 minpoll 4 maxpoll 8

Appears to know the secret for a2, so is a trusted peer, not an interloper.


Partial solution:
(b-case)

[email protected]:/etc# cat ntp.conf
restrict default ignore
restrict 127.0.0.1


Told to ignore requests from everyone not unrestricted, and test machine is not unrestricted.

Error on test server: (stratum3)
local.test xx.xx.xx.t1

So is correctly ignored.

Overriding maxpoll will result in excessive jitter and poor frequency control.
