The quality of time and therefore the "best" servers depends strongly on the length of the network path between server and client. The probability that "all these clients" will eventually select the same servers is minimal. This assumes that the pool servers are NOT all huddling in Peoria, Illinois or something like that. If, as I expect, the servers are more or less randomly distributed geographically, I would expect that clients would use the nearest servers. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
