John,
Yes, that is the intended behavior. Frnakly, I'm very nervous about
configurations like that. If the remote servers comes bum, it is easy
for the client to slide into the wrong second. Yes, it would be possible
to put up a tinker switch, but the program has become so infested with
tinkers that I am reluctant to add more. While I haven't tested it, you
might try setting more than one server as prefer. In this case the PPS
should tune as long as one of them is a survivor.

Hi --
A question about configuring the prefer peer when using the PPS driver
with a source that provides only the PPS signal and no other timecode.
It seems that having to designate a single remote server as the prefer
peer causes a weakness -- if that remote server goes away, the PPS
driver is disabled.
Is this a situation where specifying more than one prefer peer makes
sense (assuming that all are of roughly equal, high, quality)? Will
anything bad happen from doing this?
Thanks,
John
