Sounds like a poor configuration, only 1 upstream server per blade? and you want to use it, when itself says its not useable for valid time? What about the Server Command Option TRUE ? <http://www.eecis.udel.edu/~mills/ntp/html/confopt.html#option> It would probably be better to provide all blades with about four LAN S1 servers and the Master blade to sync to, perhaps adding orphan, so they follow each other around, if they lose communication with the LAN NTP servers. -- 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
