One of my long term plans/ideas (read: pie-in-the-sky-will-probably- never-happen) is to get a /24 or larger from $ISP and setup a few servers with ntpd on all those IPs and a lot of monitoring. Then we can make the pool.ntp.org DNS servers give out those IPs in ways that'll let us do detailed statistics on the various pool zones (vendor zones and country zones) and on which querying name servers are eventually "responsible" for what traffic - for example finding the .tr name servers and figuring out their traffic patterns. - ask -- http://develooper.com/ - http://askask.com/ _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
