Thanks. I'm afraid the consensus has to come from the operators, not from FreeBSD folks. If the operators were required to support it, I think everyone should slave the roots, not just those running busy servers. Just like I'd think everyone should sync with stratum-1 servers if those operators supported everyone doing that. -- Skip
