The default maxpoll is 10, or 1024 seconds, so that's a 16x[1] increased load on the servers. Some/many people would consider that to be abusive use of a resource. If you are using your servers, you can do whatever you want. If you are using your ISP's servers or a friends, then whatever they agree to is fine. The NIST servers are already heavily/over loaded. I'm not sure if the pool could stand a 16x increase in load. How many other countries run "official" NTP servers, and how heavily are they loaded? ------ 1) It's not actually 16x because there is the ramp up time and ntpd automatically ramps down when it thinks it needs to. The latter often happens if the temperture/load changes. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ time-nuts mailing list -- [email protected] To unsubscribe, go to https://www.febo.com/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/time-nuts and follow the instructions there.
