Hi Mark.

Wouldn't a local server be more optimal?

IE:

	   server 0.nl.pool.ntp.org
	   server 1.nl.pool.ntp.org
	   server 2.nl.pool.ntp.org
	   server 3.nl.pool.ntp.org

Or for Africa
   server 0.za.pool.ntp.org
	   server 1.za.pool.ntp.org
	   server 2.za.pool.ntp.org
	   server 3.za.pool.ntp.org

Hi all.

I have NTP servers in Europe that are choosing Tata (6453) to get to 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org which lives on 197.224.66.40:

traceroute -I 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org
traceroute to 0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org (197.224.66.40), 64 hops max, 48 byte packets
