Martyn, You can change certain parameters in the NTP daemons to widen the aperture which the daemon believes as true time. However, there are other spots where timing dispersion is excessive, like in Norway. Experience there led to certain modifications to the NTP local-clock model that should help your case as well. Unfortunately, these mods are in the NTP Version 3 specification, not in previous versions. NTP v3 has been implmented in the fuzzball serves, but is not yet available for Unix. There have been volunteers from among this mangy bunch to implment v3 for Unix, but so far none have barked. Dave
