I started with 8 uplinks in my ntpd.conf over 2 years ago. Only 4 of them are alive at the moment... For a pool server, 3 active uplinks with different "owners" is IMO a minimum; I recommend configuring 5-7 servers in the ntpd.conf to have some redundancy. (I picked servers "close by", on my continent, low "ping" / ntp delay.) Peter. P.S. Yes, my ntpd has been running continuously for over 2 years... It shows in the last poll times (710 days) _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
