Jamie Symmetricom's DomainTime II software has a DomainTime over HTTP option using port 80 for just this problem. Accuracy is impaired compared to the DomainTime protocol or NTP, but will easily satisfy your requirements. You can get a 30 day trial version from the website at http://www.ntp-systems.com/software_download.asp?ID=product_software_30day_trial.asp and give it a go. Hope this helps STEVE _______________________________________________ questions mailing list [email protected] https://lists.ntp.isc.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
