Hello there! I just joined the pool. After years of being an NTP fan I
finally got a server that is appropriate, 72.36.170.170.

Looking at my server usage and reading list discussion, it's clear
that many pool participants are implementing some sort of personal
protection against abusive clients. That's a reasonable and necessary
thing, but it carries a risk: those clients are going to go looking
for another server in the pool. If 75% of the pool is protecting
itself, the other 25% is going to be screwed.

Has there been any thought towards building a common group defense? I
guess it's hard, given the difficulty of dissuading a bad client from
sending you UDP packets.


While I'm here, another question. Wayne Schmitt's ntpscripts are great
for monitoring things. Is there anyone working on cleaning these up
and automating them for general easy use?
