Brian, We need to think about scenarios for server discovery. Without prejudice on the message formats, a virgin client might be directed to either: 1. Listen for broadcast/multicast on <address> and do/do not execute a volley. I like the delay field to enable/disable that and have added it to ntpd. In principle, the delay can be determined from the DHCP packets themselves, a feature that might be added. 2. Troll the pool at one of the pool DNS names, us.pool.ntp.org, etc. The client should be smart enough to use/not use iburst and preempt flags. 3. Specify a list of <addresses> to send to, each together with the mode and minpoll. I don't think maxpoll is useful either. 4. Specify a manycast server group address, ttl limit and beacon interval. In the broadcast/multicast, pool and manycast schemes, we need the optional tos floor and tos ceiling and tos cohort commands as well. All schemes may need the key ID or Autokey flag. All this makes me nervous. A possible alternative is simply to send a configuration file like the ntpq program can now. However, this of course is implemention specific. It might be useful to provide the name of a local configuration file only. The most important thing is to make it flexible for use by current ntpd and possibly others.
