It would go past 50-100 users very fast. Well, as I said, that's not what I had in mind. But if it were, I'd ask ask if there were some way I could get the current pool list, either pulled periodically or pushed when changes occur, for filtering. How big is the pool? http://www.pool.ntp.org/ says 1546 hosts; I could easily throw a 1546-host filter in front of the box (reloaded daily or some such) and count on pool hosts to be well-behaved enough to not pound it into the ground. (I daresay there are a few inconsiderate sysadmins among the pool hosts; any group of that many people will have a few bad apples. But on the average, I'd guess, they are probably both more competent and more considerate, as compared to all sysadmins with hosts on the net.) /~\ The ASCII der Mouse \ / Ribbon Campaign X Against HTML [EMAIL PROTECTED] / \ Email! 7D C8 61 52 5D E7 2D 39 4E F1 31 3E E8 B3 27 4B _______________________________________________ timekeepers mailing list [email protected] https://fortytwo.ch/mailman/cgi-bin/listinfo/timekeepers
