You need the 0, 1 and 2 pools so that clients can correctly detect when one of the pool servers becomes a false ticker. As has been pointed out many times over the months, often by Brad, you really need more than just 3 NTP servers to handle a false ticker. This is very different from the regional pool stuff. Well, to a certain degree. In general, the chances that you will run into a congested link that creats excessive jitter increases as the number of hops increases, so picking close-by NTP servers slight improves your chances of having good tickers. -wayne _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
