It's some years ago, but we used to run with independent_wallclock=0 and then just used the time protocol to monitor the time on each server. It was terrible -- the VMs would routinely go seconds off. After we reversed it and just run ntpd on each box it's been fine. _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
