Hello,
I have a machine with two network interfaces. I need to have two
instances of
ntpd running, one for each interface. Initially I attempted to
partition the two
by restricting all access from network B to ntpd instance A and vice
versa in
their respective ntp.conf's. However, I soon discovered this wasn't
going to
work because both instances were binding on both interfaces, resulting
in
conflict.
I tried to remedy this by installing NTP 4.2.4p4 and using the -I option
to
specify to which interface a particular ntpd instance should bind. With
limited experimentation, I seem to be running into the same problem of
each
instance receiving packets from both networks.
Is what I am trying to do feasible?
Cheers
Johnny
