Some large number of systems (appliances, poorly configured general purpose systems? who knows) use SNTP[1]; they'd immediately stop getting the correct time. Hopefully if they really really need the correct time, they'd have been configured to use privately run and managed servers. Ask [1] I know this because the query rate on the DNS servers goes from 1400-1500qps to a bit over 2000 at the "top" of each minute and several times that at the top of each hour. _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
