The "peer" command (NTP packets sourced in Symmetric-Active mode) is used because sun0 provides a reference for the other twenty-odd hosts on its local network. I chose these servers because they serve SURANET (which is nearby from here) and showed a fairly low ping round-trip (50 ms for umd1, 500 ms for dcn1). If you know of any other NRL NTP servers, please let me know so I can add some closer peers. Dan Hoey Hoey@AIC.NRL.Navy.Mil
