I do. I have one machine connecting to 4 or 5 stratum 2 servers, then the others on the LAN sync with that one. The NTP folk say you need to have a few servers to check with because the propagation times across the Internet can vary widely. Without a number of servers, NTP can't do a very good job -- comparing and selecting is the whole idea. http://www.pool.ntp.org/ http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/StratumTwoTimeServers http://ntp.isc.org/bin/view/Servers/WebHome -- Glenn English [EMAIL PROTECTED] -- To UNSUBSCRIBE, email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with a subject of "unsubscribe".
