Interesting minpoll/maxpoll, that means polling somewhere between once
an hour and once every day and a half. I guess they chose to trade off
accuracy for scalability.
Yesterday I added "server recommendations" to the zone browser on
www.pool.ntp.org.
See for example:
http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/de
- plenty servers
http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/dk
- not enough servers in the country
http://www.pool.ntp.org/zone/br
- not even enough servers on the continent
Anyway, I've been pondering if I should add a minpoll/maxpoll
recommendation (and ask vendors (Red Hat, Debian, the *BSDs, etc) to
include it too. Not as aggressive as the Apple configuration, but
maybe bumping maxpoll by a few bits. (Also, maybe the recommended
line should include "iburst"?).
Any opinions or suggestions?
- ask
