I'm also sorry, Poul-Henning, that you are the latest victim of firmware stupidity. On a related note, I recently set up my external web/mail/etc. server to be a stratum 2 timeserver and added it to pool.ntp.org, the volunteer round-robin DNS system to share the NTP load. I've only been in the pool for a couple of days, and only got my logging software working yesterday, but it's quite amazing how many systems there are that sync to me. I'm averaging about 500 active clients, but when, once a day or so, my IP address gets entered into the DNS pool, that shoots up to a couple of thousand (and then tails off very quickly; there must be many, many machines that do a start-up time check but aren't running a full NTP implementation). I have graphs of that activity at http://www.febo.com/time-freq/ntp/stats/clients/index.html, and others showing the relative offsets of all my NTP servers (I have each PPS source in the basement driving its own server) at http://www.febo.com/time-freq/ntp/stats/index.html.
