Re: Time servers (ntp) wanted

In short: If you have a computer with a static IP address, I'd be glad if you'd run ntpd and offered it for public use on the time.fortytwo.ch DNS round robin. Expected traffic is very low - I hope to get as many time servers as I can, so the load will be spread as far as possible. Curently I habe only a 39 Computer-Local-LAN but with my own ntp-server, exactly xntp3 which get the time-Information with the DCF-77 receiver... from Braunschweig/Germany. The longer version: In the comp.protocols.time.ntp newsgroup, it was discussed that some of the public time servers (as listed somewhere on ntp.org) are having problems with too much traffic. How many requests ??? I run a 10 yeears old VLB-Board with an Cx486dx40 and 16 Mbyte of memory running Woody. I update the Computers every 5 Minutes for testing and there is around no load... I think, the Timeservers use a little bit bigger machine, but can handle several 1000th hit a second... ## Get the Power of Debian/GNU-Linux ## -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of unsubscribe.

Re: Time servers (ntp) wanted
[oops. Wanted to post this to both -project and -isp] time.fortytwo.ch round robin DNS I just wanted to say how great the Debian community is: within three hours of the announcement here, I had 5 volounteers offering their timeservers. Any other timne servers willing to join are still welcome :^) Update: the time.fortytwo.ch will probably become the pool.ntp.org project in the near future and thus become a bit more 'official'. Yay!

Re: Time servers (ntp) wanted
It's good news that ntp.org is willing to support this. As I read you last accounce mailing I understand that they think this has a greater potential then though of reading your request for support. Let see how this grows, as I think this could be a good step in the right direction.

We could probably run a Debian NTP service with statum 2 or higher in the near future. Sounds good. Then again, I appreciate Adrian's efforts. Maybe we can synchronize with him. -- Please do not CC me!

Don't know if that's better, but it's more work in any case. CNAMEing would just work. Main problem with CNAME is that a lot of DNS lookups are necessary - but with ntp, it's just one lookup when ntpd starts (contrary to MX pointing to CNAME which are evaluated basically for every single mail).
