Here is what I have now that I've dropped the minpoll from the server and dropped LOCAL: peer bl480c2 minpoll 3 maxpoll 4 iburst server 10.208.0.1 iburst server 10.0.0.1 server 10.202.1.1 I just restarted that on both ends (adjusting peer accordingly) and will see how that settles-in. thanks, rick jones -- oxymoron n, commuter in a gas-guzzling luxury SUV with an American flag these opinions are mine, all mine; HP might not want them anyway... :) feel free to post, OR email to rick.jones2 in hp.com but NOT BOTH... _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
