Hi Mary Anne,
I don't mean to sound critical, but why bother with dial-up time services in
this day and age? There are plenty of good internet NTP sources that give
+/-100ms precision. You can even implement your own time server (as I have)
- synchronised to GPS satellites - that will supply a good
internet-independent time reference for weeks on end to STP even if the GPS
antenna is unplugged. Just a thought.
Cheers,
Andrew
Andrew,
Can you provide information about your local time server environment
(including approximate cost)? We're currently syncing our STP
environment to a local NTP server which then sync's to pool.ntp.org.
It's a bit of a kludge, it works but there are several potential
problems in this environment, one of which we already hit.
I'd like to further fault isolate our time source if possible.
