Does not route -n tell you which one? Remember it always used the most the specific interface. Ie, if you have say 0.0.0.0/0 and 128.0.0.0/8 on different interfaces,and your address of your ntp server is 128.113.27.6 then it will use the second. If you have 128.113.27.0/24 on a third interface, it will use that third one. If there are two of equal depth covering the interface, then it will use the last on I believe. Ie, with a specific set of routes, it should always pick the same interface. The server uses the same address it received the query on, so it will depend on the incoming routing of the response. > > > Thanks, > Blažej > -- > This is questions@lists.ntp.org > Subscribe: questions+subscr...@lists.ntp.org > Unsubscribe: questions+unsubscr...@lists.ntp.org > > > -- This is questions@lists.ntp.org Subscribe: questions+subscr...@lists.ntp.org Unsubscribe: questions+unsubscr...@lists.ntp.org
