Hello,
I have configured NTP (ntp-4.1.2-4) on REDHAT (2.4.21-15).
Clients and server, have same OS and NTP ver.
I want to use an alias IP address as NTP server to make it portable in
any failure case.
But I was not able to use Alias IP while the main IP is working.
[root at backupserver etc]# ntpq -np
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset
jitter
==============================================================================
*192.168.210.33  127.127.1.0     11 u   63   64  375    0.152   -5.593
 0.103
 192.168.210.63  0.0.0.0         16 u    -  128    0    0.000    0.000

 127.127.1.0     127.127.1.0     12 l   57   64  377    0.000    0.000
 0.004
I have copied and modified ifcdg-eth0 to ifcfg-eth0:0 to make a alias
IP addr (210.33 is main and 210.63 is alias).
Please let me know whether I can use alias IP, as NTP server IP.

Best regards,
Shabahang Elmian,
