But in the case of NTP clients, that assumes that they know that there is a renewal, and that they need to update their configuration. Which seems to imply that there would need to be something in the NTP protocol standard that says something like: If you got your other-protocol-specific configuration via DHCP, then you need to make sure that you're fully DHCP-aware and that you pick up all changes when the DHCP client renews the lease. > if the lease timers were > very long, a client who got NTP addresses and found itself having > trouble with them all could also use the INFORMATION-REQUEST message to > check whether the addresses were still valid, outside of the normal > renewal timers. Which implies that the NTP client now needs to become fully DHCP aware. NTP is a weird beast. It's not like a mail or news server, which can pretty much always continue to use the same upstream server as defined in the configuration file, and never needs to worry about watching for DHCP lease renewals. NTP is one of those layer 2.5 things that doesn't have the name Cisco branded on the side, and doesn't look like a router, switch, or hub, and therefore your traditional network admins may not understand it. It also doesn't have the name Microsoft or Sun stamped on the side, and therefore your traditional host administrators aren't necessarily going to know anything about it. This is a piece of network systems infrastructure which acts as glue at the interface between the network itself and the hosts on the network, and since it's an edge case on both sides of the equation, we need to be careful in how we handle it. -- Brad Knowles <brad@shub-internet.org> LinkedIn Profile: <http://tinyurl.com/y8kpxu> _______________________________________________ dhcwg mailing list dhcwg@ietf.org https://www1.ietf.org/mailman/listinfo/dhcwg
