It is not fort knox but almost ;-)
No windows and no telecommunication devices are allowed in the computer 
room, no gsm, no antenna, no copper.

Thank your for your help. Today I have tested some monitoring tools, and 
overall the situation is good.
Our system is 9 minutes below the real time (my wristwatch:-)

Here is how looks our client tcp.conf file file :

server serverA

As suggested, I am thinking about improving it to have

server serverA
server serverB
server serverC
server serverD
server serverE

On serverA, I am thinking about having the following conf

peer serverB
peer serverC
peer serverD
peer serverE

and so on for BCDE.

Does this make sense?

Alex
