time.mattrude.com
Welcome to my public time server. This site, time.mattrude.com, is a cluster of two ntp time servers hosted by Rackspace in Dallas TX.
pool.ntp.org
These servers are part of the NTP Pool and are avalable to the public for synchronizing computer time over the internet. Please do not directly configure a system to only use these servers.
The NTP Pool project is a big virtual cluster of time servers providing reliable easy to use NTP service for millions of clients.
The pool is being used by millions or tens of millions of systems around the world. It's the default "time server" for most of the major Linux distributions and many networked appliances.
Server Status
Both of these servers are running as stratum 2 time servers, with a maximum offset of 10ms.
You may also view the current status of Kirby & Twyla's client files, or the pool's running status.
