Hello, I'm requesting some advice here. I have a bunch of Linux servers (around 20) to synchronize, and I'm planning to use NTP for it. Theses boxes don't have a direct access to the Internet, so they can't use public NTP servers to synchronize themselves from. Thus, what I want to do is to elect a strate 1 server among them and synchronize it using a hardware clock (GPS or whatever). Then the remaining servers would be considered as NTP clients and get their time from the strate 1 server. I believe this configuration is quite acceptable and I make the assumption that it's going to work well (I can't test because I don't own any reference clock yet).
Now, for HA purposes, I'd like to see, say, 3 strate 1 servers, working as peers. The remaining boxes would be configured to use them as servers (3 "server" entries in ntp.conf for each client). Questions : 1/ do I need 3 reference clocks (GPS receivers...) for my 3 strate 1 servers ? 2/ can you advise me some middle-range clocks (several hundred euros max.) working on Linux, as well as pros and cons regarding the technology (GPS, radio...) ? Thanks for your help. -- Julien Allanos _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
