You should use software that you can configure to transmit NTP when the link is up but not bring it up for NTP, nor keep it up for NTP. (Good demand dial software will also do things like varying the timeout depending on the type of packet and whether there are open TCP connections.) Alternatively, you can, but only after getting explicit permission from the people who operate your servers (you will probably find this limits you to your ISP and your own company), use the burst option, which should try enough polls with enough gaps to ensure that the later polls get through. Using burst without permission is considered as serious abuse and may get you blocked by the server. Generally, though, ntpd and demand dial don't go together particularly well. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
