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.
