Subject: [plug] NTP alias migration
im into migrating very old ntp servers by migrating their aliases into the new
ntp servers. ntp.conf of the clients just points to aliases
let say
server ntp1
server ntp2
server ntp3
Im simulating how long will it take for the clients to pickup the new ntp
servers hostname but my tests using solaris 10 an rhel 5.6. show clients are
still pointing to old ntp servers even if I have migrated aliases but nslookup
is ok on all clients.
But when I restarted ntpd on the client of course they immediately showed the
correct new ntp servers.
But its not a good idea to restart ntpd on clients across the fleet. Is there a
way to make clients discover new ntp servers without restarting their deamon?
Thanks!
