| See the other replies to your comment that have been sent to the list, and let me emphasize, DO NOT DO THIS. Historically, it has been shown to create problems, as noted in the reply from Björn, referencing http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NTP_vandalism This is entirely a "me-too" posting, I realize, but at least it's a bit stronger than your average AOL kind of thing. Your application should absolutely get capability to handle DNS before shipping. Even shipping with a root hints file and self-updating it would be acceptable, even encouraged, compared to hardcoding ANY ip address. The servers listed in that link are used by many of us in the pool to run our servers, which redistribute time to other hosts. The pool exists to help lower the load on those same servers you have sent us the link to, and they are absolutely not to be used by machines that don't exist to redistribute time. -Jeff SIG: HUP On Jul 19, 2006, at 2:19 PM, Jon Tandy wrote:
