Guys, With respect, you are all off the point. Two servers are better than one and not as good as three. However, if either of two fast servers disagrees with the other more than few milliseconds, no majority clique is possible and both turn falsetick. Usually, this happens when the roundtrip delay is very small and some minor warp resluts in an empty intersection interval. The recommended workaround is to tinker mindist something above the default .005 second. Make it high enough so minor warps are ignored while major ones turn out the lights.
