I thought that this was a "model citizen" usage pattern for end-users. It's the bozos that query me every second that are the bad apples in my book. > The request peaks tend to be > considerable, probably due to the relatively > static content of the DNS zone (they all get > the same timeservers at some point in time). Are they all trying to query at the top of every hour or something like that? It's a stupid polling pattern, but it hurts nobody except those who use the stupid polling pattern. Getting a congested net once an hour (or whatever the peak pattern is) isn't a real problem, is it? (Asking naively here). The other NTP users (and other network services) will not really notice because they aren't peaking at the exact same time.
