[time] Pre-warning: server upgrade

[Adrian 'Dagurashibanipal' von Bidder]

Yo!

I'll be upgrading the server hardware on Wednesday.  The primary nameserver, 
the monitoring server, www.pool.ntp.org and the mailing lists will be 
offline for most of the afternoon. (the current server is a K6 333MHz with 
128M RAM, and this is making itself being felt.  Above all, my trust in the 
5 years old hard disks is declining rapidly, and I could not afford RAID 
when I set up that system...)

There are enough 2nd DNS, so that won't hurt the pool. I can't do anything 
about the pool.ntp.org zones not being rotated as long as I'm working on 
the server - but I certainly hope those servers in the DNS at that point of 
time will be able to cope.


I'll send out a warning to -announce on wednesday morning, too.


And (unrelated) good news: the Internet connection of that server will be 
improved in the weeks to come (new: 100M peak bandwidth), so I hope ntp 
latency will be improving, too.

cheers
