If you had two instances, the B side instance would have to be configured to serve the local clock, which would mean that it would be claiming a falsely high time quality. Part of the information transmitted downstream, is the cumulative estimate of errors received from upstream. It would also mean that failures of the A side would never be communicated to the B side (this is a problem with using the local clock driver even in more conventional configurations).


Once instance of ntpd is all that is necessary to perform both of these
tasks at the same time.

I quite agree.


Why do you feel you need two instances?
