Do you have rawstats enabled on the client? Is there more then one client? Are the servers yours too, or something out on the net? The default rate-limit is supposed to work with an iburst. It might complain if you restart a server too rapidly - the server will still remember the previous iburst when the new one comes along. You can also get in troubles if you are going through a NAT box and have several servers using the pool that get restarted at the same time. They get the same answers from the DNS and the server sees several ibursts at the same time when NAT maps them all to the same IP Address. -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
