Yes, you should use a stratum 2 or higher (3, 4...) server unless you're providing NTP services for a huge set of machines (100+). > I'm using clock.via.net because it is listed at > http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock1.htm as: Those are primary (stratum 1) servers, please refrain from using them unless you need first-class clock-sync service (hint: if you did, you'd have bought a GPS radio-clock as well). Please select a server from: http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/clock2.htm ^ Which is the list of stratum 2 servers. They sync to the stratum 1 servers, which are few, and must be kept at low load to increase performance. So regural users really should never access stratum 1 servers. -- "One disk to rule them all, One disk to find them. One disk to bring them all and in the darkness grind them.
