# Hereafter should be "server" or "peer" statements to configure
# other hosts to exchange NTP packets with. Peers should be selected
# in such a way that the network path to them is symmetric (that is,
# the series of links and routers used to get to the peer is the same
# one that the peer uses to get back. NTP assumes such symmetry
# in its network delay calculation. NTP will apply an incorrect
# adjustment to timestamps received from the peer if the path is not
# symmetric. This can result in clock skew (your system clock being
# maintained consistently wrong by a certain amount).
# 
# The best way to select symmetric peers is to make sure that the
# network path to them is as short as possible (this reduces the
# chance that there is more than one network path between you and
# your peer). You can measure these distances with the traceroute(8)
# program. The best place to start looking for NTP peers for your
# system is within your own network, or at your Internet Service
# Provider (ISP).
#
# Ideally, you should select at least three other systems to talk
# NTP with, for an "what I tell you three times is true" effect.

# Public servers from the pool.ntp.org project. Volunteer's servers
# are dynamically assigned to the CNAMES below via DNS round-robin.
# The pool.ntp.org project needs more volunteers! The only criteria to
# join are a nailed-up connection and a static IP address. For details,
# see the web page:
#
#	http://www.pool.ntp.org/ 
#

# The country codes can help you find servers that are net-wise close.
# As explained above, closer is better...

# Northern U.S.A
#server		ca.pool.ntp.org
#server		us.pool.ntp.org
#server		us.pool.ntp.org

# Northern Europe
#server		de.pool.ntp.org
#server		de.pool.ntp.org
#server		dk.pool.ntp.org

# Depending on the vagaries of DNS can occasionally pull in the same
# server twice. The following CNAMES are guaranteed to be disjoint, at
# least over some short interval.
