If you operate clusters, you may have a tendency to let all the cluster nodes peer, because when in doubt it's more important that the nodes agree on a common time rather than having the correct time (if very odd things happen). Despite of that using "peer" instead of "two-way "server" is self-documentation: It's more clear from ntp.conf what happens (is expected to happen) ;-) > > > > > > -- > These are my opinions.
