I would say that it's the first step on the road you are describing, and the first thing to mention. The measure you are advocating is an 'advanced' alternative, precisely because it breaks things in quite a subtle way, will hide breakage elsewhere and is more complex. But it is just a matter of emphasis, and I agree with you that this is a practice that some sites might want to adopt, and might benefit all by being a more obvious alternative for sites who would not otherwise see a suitable way to manage their ntp traffic. Perhaps the world would be a better place if the makers of routers who can't seem to help hardcoding ntp servers could be persuaded to make this the default ;-) Regards, Paddy _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
