Two naive thoughts... Since this is making people leave the pool, and the abuse seems to come from a specific source. Is it impossible to get your local ISP to block the NTP port for trafic from TT in their routers? Thus making TT requests not even reach you. Since it is an ISP not playing nice, maybe this problem should be taken care of at the ISP level. On the other side... we (the pool project) are controlling the DNS-round robin? Can the DNS system identify TT requests? If so, either drop those requests or direct them to servers with the bandwidth/CPU-power to cope with the abuse. Sure, this would add complexity, but maybe its worth it compared to loosing lots of time servers. -- Björn _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
