Is anyone from ntpd.org on here? You're pointing DNS at me for some reason. That zone (ntpd.org) isn't in our system. Your NS looks odd too, *.darkness-reigns.net and .nl? Is that legit? I don't know what it was before because I've never looked, but that seems off. ~Seth

nevermind, I'm tired and confused ntpd.org with ntp.org. Just going to wildcard *.ntpd.org to 127.0.0.1 and go back to sleep.

I did think about replying, saying "Just to be clear, this isn't about ntp.org." -- Harlan Stenn, Network Time Foundation http://nwtime.org - be a Member!

What I did learn though there are a lot of people configuring their NTP with servers that are identical to the legitimate *.ntp.org names, except they're mistyping ntpd instead of ntp. Enough to generate >2Gbps worth of query traffic (pointed at a DNS server with a 1gbps interface). I have to admit I'm kind of curious how many unique clients that would be if I answered back with a working IP address instead of localhost.

If the folks who registered ntpd.org are OK with it, we'd be happy to take that domain over and do right by it. -- Harlan Stenn, Network Time Foundation http://nwtime.org - be a Member!
