Speaking of NTP as a "standard Internet service", I always wondered why there wasn't more collaboration between the root DNS operators and the NTP Pool project, given their common association with isc.org. The root DNS operators seem to have the load-balancing issues solved via anycast routing, and would seem to have an interest in tightly synchronized time, if only for security logging purposes. But I am unfamiliar with root DNS operations as a whole, except what I've read on Wikipedia. It is interesting to me that c.root-servers.net, which is run actaully hosted by our corporate ISP (Cogent), responds to NTP queries at stratum 3. The two other root server names I tried did not respond to NTP queries. -- RPM _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
