If the folks who registered ntpd.org are OK with it, we'd be happy to take that domain over and do right by it. -- Harlan Stenn, Network Time Foundation http://nwtime.org - be a Member!

What I did learn though there are a lot of people configuring their NTP with servers that are identical to the legitimate *.ntp.org names, except they're mistyping ntpd instead of ntp. Enough to generate >2Gbps worth of query traffic (pointed at a DNS server with a 1gbps interface). I have to admit I'm kind of curious how many unique clients that would be if I answered back with a working IP address instead of localhost.

Paging anyone from ntpd.org
Is anyone from ntpd.org on here? You're pointing DNS at me for some reason. That zone (ntpd.org) isn't in our system. Your NS looks odd too, *.darkness-reigns.net and .nl? Is that legit? I don't know what it was before because I've never looked, but that seems off. ~Seth
