Hi Experts,
 
Could any one please let me know why is this deviation in behavior ?
Shouldn't prefer work irrespective of  considering any other responses ?
 
 
=> client will not sync to server [ i.e stratum 9 configured using
"prefer" ] when its already synced with low stratum server [i.e stratum
8 ]
 
 
=> In contrast, client will not sync to server [ i.e stratum 8 ] when it
is already synced with stratum 9 server [ synced using "prefer" option ]
 
 
TIA
Ravikiran
