I've been thinking about something like this for a while. The idea is to be able to specify the IP Address to be used for contacting a NTP or NTS-KE server.
There was discussion on the IETF-NTP list today about how to get NTP started on systems without (or broken) CMOS/TOY clocks whem you are using DNSSEC which needs time. I think this would be a useful tool in that direction. We could put a cache in /etc/hosts There are similar problems with root certificates expiring. Does anybody have better suggestions for the syntax? Or for alternatives for bypassing DNSSEC? -- These are my opinions. I hate spam. _______________________________________________ devel mailing list devel@ntpsec.org http://lists.ntpsec.org/mailman/listinfo/devel
