Steve,
There is something wrong with the nomenclature in your message. By
definition, the number of survivors is the number remaining after the
cluster algorithm has completedd. This number is three by default, but
can be changed using the minclock option. To reduce the numb er of
survivors below three is generally a bad idea, but as I said, the option
is available.
I don't understand what you mean by "it doesn't work". The maxclock
option does not do what you want. It is intended for automatic
configuration, where it specifies the maximum number of servers
remaining after the preempt phase. For configured associations, this
number is irrelevant.

The combine algorithm operates on the survivors of the cluster

survivors can be set using the minclock option. I'm not sure why you
want to do this, but the option is there.
Dave,
I've been having a discussion with someone who wishes to configure a
large number of unicast time servers and restrict the number of
survivors to a number below the default. He was attempting to accomplish
this using maxclock option, but it did not work.
Thanks,
