Actually I don't think that's the right way to do it at all. What is needed here is a reliable (DNSSEC, or at least TSIG) out of band method to allow "the masses" to slave the root without loading the root servers themselves. I'd like to see consensus and resources build around that. ICANN is making some tentative steps in that direction already: https://ns.iana.org/dnssec/status.html > Just like I'd think everyone should sync with stratum-1 servers if > those operators supported everyone doing that. I've already pointed out that this is a silly analogy, as the two things have nothing in common. At the most basic level: Individual hosts don't need Everyone needs the root data to sync with a strat 1 ntpd The strat 1 folks have asked The roots are open to all by design people not to do that -- This .signature sanitized for your protection
