different networks, things don't always work so well. I may want to use the DHCP-provided NTP servers at work, but syncing with a random NTP server when I connect to a wifi hotspot is not such a great idea.
It's not "random" if the network operator is providing it via DHCP is it?
If you're connecting at a Starbuck's, and you care more than "hopefully somebody will tell me the right time within a minute", yes, it *is* essentially random.
While that is true, the people that are asking for the ability to advertise NTP servers in DHCP are not running the networks at Starbucks. Owen
