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.
Do the clients *have* to receive broadcast?
I would just point the clients directly at the IP of the local server.
If the issue is that DHCP can give the server a different address, most
DHCP servers now have the ability to give a specific IP address to a
specific MAC address.
