The support.ntp.org site says this about virtualization: “NTP server was not designed to run inside of a virtual machine. It requires a high resolution system clock, with response times to clock interrupts that are serviced with a high level of accuracy.”
<http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/KnownOsIssues#Section_9.2.2.> However, following discussions on this list, there appear to be pool.ntp.org instances on Amazon EC2. Do the restrictions on virtualization still apply? I'm pretty sure a properly configured KVM host and guest (for example) today has a much better hardware clock than most things that were available in the 90s, and people were running time servers even back then (even on PCs). _______________________________________________ pool mailing list [email protected] http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/pool
