I *think* that the ntp client will try to repeatedly reach these servers even though they do not respond, though I don't believe that this is the problem. Anyhow, my experience tells me that if a server is not working, don't put it in the file. (in the contrary to the למל"מ approach) I would also add the lines: server 127.127.1.0 # local clock fudge 127.127.1.0 stratum 10 to handle conditions when the servers can not be contacted at all. Besides of that the file looks just fine, so I really don't know. I would try removing the debian servers, just in case... (go figure, you might have been hitting a bug / feature) - Noam
