The only way that I know of to get this kind of a time source, is to 
actually have a strat1 or 2 time source in your location.  We had this 
discussion here at the office a while back, since we ahve a strat2 
cesium clock to sync all our SONET rings.  Even then, if you don't have 
people actually syncing from the strat2 directly, and only have the ntp 
server syncing it, it will still technically be only a strat3 time
source.

HTH.

Mark -

Yes that's helpful. So is there no way I can say have a windows box
connect to this server and pull its time successfully even though the
ntp server is an hour behind, or say we roll the date forward to March
11, 2007? You can see where we are going with this as far as testing is
concerned, they want to be absolutely sure they have thought of
everything - and asked me to build this. And that's when it hit me luck
a brick that this wont work well if its going out to a strat2 and
syncing, LOL.

Any additional thoughts?
Michael
