Hello there: Does anyone know the right setting to enable a single NTP server --> router --> NTP client 1 & 2 network?
I have a firewall at eth1 192.168.1.1 broadcasting to a router WAN port at 192.168.1.100, which in turn has two internal clients connected to the LAN at 192.168.2.100 and 192.168.2.104 respectively (DHCP) The problem is that the router, DLink DGL-4300 says that it will support multicast protocol, but when I set broadcast 224.0.1.1 in the firewall server's ntp.conf file, it broadcasts out eth0 instead which goes to the whole internet world, not the eth1 port. I was hoping that multicast might allow me to send packets transparent through the Dlink router and that I could use "multicastclient" in each client on the LAN. Any ideas? Currently I have the server syncing to internet ntp servers by itself, then client #1 syncing to internet ntp servers, then broadcasting local, and client #2 looking for the local broadcast (which seems to work okay) Would like server --> router --> clients instead, if possible. Thanks for your input. - Randall -- [email protected] http://www.kernel-panic.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/kplug-list
