The list of NIST NTP servers is down for me, is anyone else seeing this? I'm getting a 404 error http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi
I concur, that URL results in 404 for me too. Much content which had been reliably available at http://tf.nist.gov and http://www.boulder.nist.gov/ seems to have vanished or broken lately. Not aware of alternate source. I prefer the NTP.org pools and other sources anyway, for reliability. I didn't memorize the federal time servers, but wasn't simply time.gov one of them? ~$ ntptrace time.gov 2610:20:6005:13::35: timed out, nothing received ***Request timed out http://www.time.gov/about.html leads to http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/ which redirects to the broken http://tf.nist.gov ... so this has got to be an error. Maybe they're doing some rearranging and moving, starting with the removing old part. At least tf.nist.gov is *up*, giving 403s and 404s. Keying in on .gov and ipv6 and related debacles, I wonder if results vary depending on whether one uses v4 or v6...idle speculation. Perhaps contact via http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/contact.cfm (which, amusingly, came with a Foresee survey when I loaded it moments ago...) or timeinfo@boulder.nist.gov <mailto:timeinfo@boulder.nist.gov> may yield something.
