Since pool.ntp.org is a volunteer effort, it make sense to me that servers would come and go. One would hope the churn isn't very fast, and 1 server/month seems like a reasonable rate. OlsenE's periodic ntp restart seems like a good way to handle it for servers that aren't rebooted regularly. --[Lance] -- Celebrate The Circle http://www.celebratethecircle.org/ Carolina Spirit Quest http://www.carolinaspiritquest.org/ My LiveJournal http://www.livejournal.com/users/labrown/ GPG Fingerprint: 409B A409 A38D 92BF 15D9 6EEE 9A82 F2AC 69AC 07B9 CACert.org Assurer -- TriLUG mailing list : http://www.trilug.org/mailman/listinfo/trilug TriLUG Organizational FAQ : http://trilug.org/faq/ TriLUG Member Services FAQ : http://members.trilug.org/services_faq/
