We are running 6 Novell servers on our WAN. The Admin server is set up as the primary time source. Secondary is another server. Daily we loose time sync which does not seem to be a big problem. It always resync's itself after 300 or 400 polling loops. But we have problems with our Border server.
Border server locks up about once every two weeks. It is almost like a buffer is filling up and then the system locks. The first thing we did was remove all inappropriate activities from the Border server such as Backup, etc. We take one backup and the only thing the server does from there is quarterback Internet communications outside our WAN. This did not help.
Our contracted installation consultant (if you want to refer to them as such - I feel they learned as they worked on our cluster of servers) informs us the time sync error is cosmetic. But I am not so sure.
We do not want to go outside our LAN for a master time reference. We need to be able to designate a primary server as master time keeper. Any ideas on what I can check next for lost time sync? I would appreciate any suggestions. Thanks.
