Well, if you've not munged the output *selectively* here,

Well, I munged it consistently (at least I tried to), so if it is the same it will be munged the same, if different it will be munged differently. It 1:1 correlation between real name and the munged ones.

Anyway you seems to find the culprit.

I believe it shows that you've run into the bug that Danny mentioned recently: The client sends a query to ntp2.<mydomain>, but gets the response from server2.<mydomain>, i.e. presumably a different IP address on the same host. The client will not (and should not) be interested in responses coming from what it sees as "someone else". The same effect will apply to the intra-server/peer queries.

Aha. Yes, that sounds like a reasonable explanation! I guess this is the caveat of UDP, since the reply have to come in separate connection? Yes that's make sense.

I make the ntp server addresses on secondary address of each machines, since I am planning to move things around later, in creating high-availability system around here. I guess it just won't work with ntp? Can I make sure ntp server only work on one IP of an interface? I'll read the ntp.conf first.

Thanks!
