I am in the process of finding out what is the
best way of synchronizing all the clocks in
the network.

1) Use timed provided but then I have no choice
   as to who will become a master when the 
   current master died because the machine crashes.
   I don't really like the idea that a diskless
   DN3000 becomes a master when I have a disked
   DN10k running.

2) Use xntp, so far, I still don't much about it.
   Have anyone installed this on a network of Apollos?
   What you think?   PS: Any modification required
   to get it to work under Apollo are most welcome.

Any other suggestion?   Many thanks in advance.
