uses a tun interface under linux)
Are you saying that your pool server's time is obtained over a VPN?
I'm not sure this is wise, for two reasons:
(a) The encryption layer within the VPN will not provide a symmetric
time delay, so your own idea of time will necessarily wander.
(b) You're running a public facing server also with an established VPN
tunnel. If your server is compromised it provides an easy route into
your University's internal network.
