My experience is also that my server runs stable with 6 st2 and 3 st3 servers. I've selected them on (short term) stability, ping time, # of hops with traceroute and different upstream st1 server. These are my stats (located in Europe): http://www.pool.ntp.org/scores/194.109.223.180 My theory: a st1 may fluctuate due to load, temperature changes, signal loss, etc. which is filtered by a st2. A st2 is less popular, so a well configured st2 only fluctuates due to temperature changes. Therefore, it's best to have a local time source or sync with st2 :-) Arnold _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
