I believe not everyone has the skill to install a local NTP server and
point all the clients to it but I configured my server with

restrict default kod limited nomodify notrap nopeer
restrict 127.0.0.1

discard minimum 1
mru initmem 4 incmem 4 maxmem 4096 mindepth 600 maxage 64

My question to other pool servers admins: is this acceptable? Am I
blocking legitimate clients?

Cheers,
Miguel
