What you really want is a decent quality PPS generator (e.g. Rubidium) which feeds an internal time server. That time server can become the internal master when the connection to the outside world goes away. Keep the orphan cloud as a back-up in case both the outside world and the internal master go away. -- Steve Kostecke <koste...@ntp.org> NTP Public Services Project - http://support.ntp.org/ _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org https://lists.ntp.org/mailman/listinfo/questions
