Actually, with the new geo-enabled DNS servers, you can just use pool.ntp.org. I. e. from Hamburg, Germany: $ dig +short pool.ntp.org 78.47.193.7 83.133.111.7 83.170.1.225 85.197.124.100 212.112.228.242 Whereas near Boston: $ dig +short pool.ntp.org 199.199.208.25 140.99.51.115 128.10.252.9 216.75.55.11 208.113.193.10 And in Texas: $ dig +short pool.ntp.org 63.240.161.99 69.10.36.4 69.31.13.210 75.144.70.35 216.184.20.83 -- Stefan Bethke <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Fon +49 170 346 0140 _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
