Roger,

It was the intent to let the poll intervals stabilize in the ordinary way; which means the poll interval follows the clock discipline time constant. That could be different in different machines and the actual poll intervals may depend on the subnet topology.

My test configuration is two primary servers and two secondary servers chiming goth of them in client/server mode and with each other in symmetric active mode. The secondary servers are on an Ethernet, each operating as both broadcast server and broadcast client. Three other machines are on the Ethernet, each operating as both broadcast server and client. All except the primary servers hav tos orphan 5.

Bring it up in the ordinary way and pull the plug at the primary servers. Watch the fun. Reconnect the primary servers and verify things return to normal.

Hello,
Anyone who knows if setting "tos orphan x" in any way changes poll frequencies (iburst, minpoll, maxpoll etc.) or does it only affect the stratum and selection algorithms? If anyone has experience from using orphan mode on a grander scale I would be interested to hear about stability issues, some best practices (if any) what to do and not to do.
Best regards
// Roger
