Ok, so in a more complicated situation where every node is equipped with GPS but the GPS sometimes is not delivering the signal in all nodes but one, the ntp.conf in every node should have these lines: server node1 iburst server node2 iburst server node3 iburst server node4 iburst ... server no

Re: [ntp:questions] Symmetricom S200 Architecture

I have two Symmetricom S200s with GPS antennas making them stratum 1. Clients use three (Eventually to be four) Stratum 2 S200's for synchronization. The stratum 2s use the GPS based Stratum 1s for synchronization. My question is should I have a server or peer relationship between the Stratum
