I missed this part of the discussion but as far as I can imagine this would have nothing to do with system-clock bugs. Please don't do this if this is your only reason to use that stratum-1 server. The only remotely practical difference between stratum-1 and stratum-2 clocks is how closely they track the "real time", the difference of which is measured at such orders of magnitude that the network delay noise will overwhelm unless maybe you are on an extrmely fast LAN connected directly to the time source. (The NTP protocol and most broadly used implementation takes lots of steps to decrease the variance caused by network delay but still there is a limit to how much magic David Mills can put into software to overcome physical hardware limits). --Amos ================================================================To unsubscribe, send mail to [EMAIL PROTECTED] with the word "unsubscribe" in the message body, e.g., run the command echo unsubscribe | mail [EMAIL PROTECTED]
