Time servers
Authored by: Lucky_Strike on May 26, '02 07:50:23AM

Just did a search on Google for ntp servers useage - the recommendations seem to be not to use the Stratum 1 ntp servers unless you have a large network. I couldn't find any mention regarding using an IP as opposed to a name. Apple's ntp servers do not appear on the Stratum 1 list, nor indeed on the Stratum 2 list, so I would think that the overloading problems mentioned in the advice I found are not relevant wrt Apple's ntp servers. Could you enlightn me wrt info about using a name as opposed to IP?
Thanks
