Hello Everybody,
I've had a server in the pool for a long time now (at least four or
five years). I recently added two more and noted the option of joining
this mailing list. Thought it was dead until the discussion from today.
My servers:
higgins.chrtf.org - 3.0mbit/s link (bonded T-1s from AT&T)
athena.arpage.org - 6.0mbit/s DS, 1.0mbit/s US (ADSL from Frontier)
tttime.arpage.org - 10.0mbit/s link (fiber connection from Time Warner
Cable)
Anyhow, two NTP related questions:
1) What kind of accuracy/precision loss occurs when you run ntpd on an
asymmetrical connection (e.g., DSL). I've read that ntpd makes the
assumption that your connection is symmetrical when calcuating the
effects of network latency. One of my servers is on an ADSL connection,
hence the question.
2) Do any of you use the limit and/or kod options in your config? I've
noted some really obnoxious clients (bursts of 20+ queries at a time,
every minute or so) hitting my servers in the past and wondered if any
of the other pool admins take proactive steps against such clients.
Glad to find a list to communicate with all of you!
Timothy Oefelein
