Re: Poll interval vs. reachability register

Hello,

I have a simple question. If the reachability of a server from a client drops to zero, will the client's poll interval be increased until reachability is reestablished? I'm curious, as my ntp_clients_stats script picked up a certain client as abusive. I emailed the admin and he said that my server had a zero reachability, but he thought that ntpd would reduce the polling interval in such a situation. I'm just trying to determine why the ntp_clients_stats script would pick up that client as abusive if the client cannot even reach my server, outside of a bug or error of some kind.

Thanks,

So, no one knows if ntpd increases the polling interval of a server if that particular server has a reachability of zero?
