oops. sorry i didnt realize my replies were going to you personally and not back to the list :) repeating what i sent to you: i have only one server i can run ntp.org software on because of the multiple address binding problem. i found several recent (in the past year) references to this problem on google and all agree it is not possible to bind to a single address. i cannot believe such a sophisticated program cannot do such a simple requirement. i guess it was written with dedicated hardware in mind but it should still have such a simple option. is it possible to use openntpd for servers destined for the list as stratum2? that software from openntpd.org supports binding ip addresses. > Chuck wrote: > > On Sunday 09 September 2007, you wrote: > > > >>> one more question. since they all look only at stratum1 servers that would > >>> make them stratum2 servers? > >>> > >>> > >> typically, yes. > >> > >> What are the server's hostnames or IP addresses?
