Although the poll rate is going to add some? Likely at least 10ms out, in practice probably low 100s of ms out from the root, if they were all non-LAN internet servers to each other neighbor. If you have two remote internet locations, with five free computers at each location, you could find out for yourself. GPS->A1->B2->A3->B4->A5->B6->A7->B8->A9->B10, and have A1 noselect B10 for comparison. I guess you could do it with four at each remote internet location, if you started with a S2 pool server, and no selected the S0 & S10 on your S3. -- E-Mail Sent to this address <blackl...@anitech-systems.com> will be added to the BlackLists. _______________________________________________ questions mailing list questions@lists.ntp.org http://lists.ntp.org/listinfo/questions
