Granted time service doesn't take too many resources, the NCAR fuzzball is a central node in NSFNET, with about 30-40 institutions on the other side of the ethernet it is connected to and lots of traffic going through it on its point-to-point links. It is already so congested that it spasms from time to time. A few cycles here and there at this point make a tremendous difference in the survivability of NSFNET. So PLEASE use one of the others to NTP-peer with. Scott
