UnixSage.com is part of the pool.ntp.org
network. This is a project to off load some of the hits to the large public
NTP servers which have been closing
its access due to abuse to usage policy. So a volunteer pool of NTP servers
was implemented by a group led by Adrian von
Bidder and David Mills (the
author of NTP) started this project to stave the tide and give an option that
if people just need to sync their clocks, 200 ms (yes that is milli-seconds)
one way or another is not a huge deal. So this group of about 200 servers world
wide, has volunteered resources/bandwidth to to cause. Please whenever possible
use one server to update others, if you are at a company sync with one server
and then have all your clients update to YOUR server. This goes for any time
server, please don't be lazy. If you have NTP service already or better yet a
stratum-0 clock then consider joining the cause. This is being a
good net-citizen.
