Keep in mind that there need not be a local ntp server.  Since all
beta machines have to have emrs, then they have to be connected to the
internet, which means that if they don't have a local ntp server (quite
unusual I would say) an external ntp server(s) can be configured with
confidence.  Hopefully their not using emrs proxy, because that would
be amazing since it's got to be harder to set that up than a local ntp
server.

In the meantime we're working hard to test solutions to the direct
connect problem.


An example of a useable external ntp server:

pool.ntp.org

Using one of these is actually better than just trying to point one
filer to another and being otherwise "time isolated".

If they somehow don't have DNS, pool.ntp.org is a round-robin DNS
address, so just resolve it a couple of times and enter those addresses.

Cheers,

a
