Brian, I know this is supposed to happen, but I recall seeing behaviour some time ago where a server with a little more jitter and much more delay was preferred, almost as if it was the jitter/offset which was the measure rather than offset itself. I ended up adding a "prefer" qualifier. Cheers, David _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
