I don't think ntpd has an option yet to autoreplace bad servers from DNS pools via future DNS queries. Either way all that's really needed is 2+1 to break ties, plus 1 or 2 for redundancy. >>>> If system [ntp]date >>>> is set first, then under ntpd running for 15min+, >>>> if ntpq -np does not show one asterisk(*) in front This will tell you status of peers. > TOR relay docs should perhaps include, for debian "add your isp's ntp > servers, and possibly a few from ntp.org, to your /etc/ntpd.conf (and > check this file is sane)".

Though if DNS is not up before ntpd on boot, specified poolnames won't resolve and I think it's still a oneshot so only servers listed by ip would be loaded. see ntpq -np while listing a bogus hostname, a poolname, and an ip. _______________________________________________ tor-relays mailing list [email protected] https://lists.torproject.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/tor-relays
