This does imho not work the way you think or as i understand it. every time a poll to the upstream server is tried the dialup box will start dialing ( 1/2 sec delay ) and then the connection will be up for the idle_timeout time ~30sec. Data File changes are every 30 minutes on 0/30, There is some postprocessing delay ~(5 minutes) Regular connection traffic is per pull from outside every 30minutes 9/39 for most of the day ( ~sunup till sundown+something , actually a bit less as i can not dip most antenna dished to look onto the horizon only 10/20 deg above that) what irks me is that ntp allways creates extra slots in between. > > If it is "just less than" this amount of time, you should be getting a > "volley" between your server and the outside once per call. > > If you are serving multiple hosts, then consider running a local refclock on > this one machine, so everybody will stay in sync in between phone calls. > > H uwe _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
