Re: [nznog] Open NTP servers in New Zealand.

Forgive me for missing the obvious here, but isn't the answer to drop packets emitting from customers on UDP/123 above _a certain rate limit_? Transparent UDP/123 redirection is going to break a lot of assumptions people have about how their current systems work, and would certainly get me, if i were a customer, very hot under the collar indeed. Debugging the subtle problems this would cause would mean a lot of wasted hours for many expensive people. Regards, Joel van Velden Cloud Scale Ltd NZ Cloud Storage API-compatible with Amazon S3.

I assume you mean non-notified transparent redirection. Correct - I should've made that clear, thanks for pointing it out.

That being said, how many customers understand enough to know what they're agreeing to have performed on their traffic?

Also, there could be very serious consequences for dorking around with ntp, especially - far too many critical systems (incorrectly) utilize the public Internet for this sort of thing.
