However, I would be interested in knowing a bit more about the
cause of this surge in clients. I guess this is because, during
that time, my NTP server shows up in the DNS response for
pool.ntp.org. If that's the case, would it be possible for the DNS
servers to return a server more often but for shorter amounts of
time, in order to spread the load on the NTP servers?
We've tried various settings already. To make it better we need to
use different DNS server software (I have several variations in use
that would help). Maybe later in the spring or over the summer...
By the way, over the last few weeks I've been running a server in the
pool.ntp.org zone constantly, and the load it is getting is rather
modest (~150K*bit*, a little higher the last few days):
