@ vapor
has anyone been using 2607:f2f8:0:101::7 as a resolver?
up_the_irons: I am
And haven't noticed any problems
is there an NTP server at arp?
N1JER: no, sorry.
pool.ntp.org works just fine though
or whatever your distro set it to
one of my NTP servers is less than 1 ms away, apparently
pool.ntp.org tries to do geolocation
you mean anycasting, or?
the values it returns to you depend on your location
the DNS is "magic"
originally developed for the CPAN
so that www.cpan.org would pick the "nearest" mirror
it's a bit easier for NTP, since you end up with multiple addresses, so you don't have to ensure you're handing out a live machine.
pool.ntp.org still checks the server and removes bad ones from the pool
yeah, but it's not critical time, like www.cpan.org which is giving you just one address.
Oh wait... I guess it could give you multiple.
dxtr: ah cool
