Was just wondering how this effects .nz’s public NTP servers, i know that i’ve had to firewall off a number of NTP servers that were in the oceanic pool up until a day ago. How long before we lose ntp[1-3].ntp.net.nz?

They are mostly protected against this but there are some issues with the Symmetricom software that makes this a 'mostly' rather than a 'fully'. Not serious and we can explain off-list if you wish. We won't be buying Symmetricom again or recommending them, unless the new owners do something miraculous. Jay
