Ntp client sync with local over ntp server

Hi,

I have two ntp servers in my cluster and I want all the nodes in my cluster to sync with either of the ntp servers or just one. Unfortunately it keep rotating the sync, between my ntp server 1, ntp server 2 and local. Is there anyway I can change the sync to avoid local?


Code:
# ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
*LOCAL(0)        .LOCL.          10 l    8   64  177    0.000    0.000   0.000
+ghiul. 9.56.248.25      3 u   62   64   77    0.137   -0.519   0.024
+ghug 9.56.248.20      3 u   61   64   77    0.127   -1.988   0.094
+ghuh 9.56.248.25      3 u   62   64   77    0.214   -2.236   0.073

Thank you.

What is the content of your ntp.conf files on each machine?

If you are syncing to multiple servers that are not in sync themselves, then that is a bigger problem. I would say that your clients have it right, but the NTP servers need to be fixed by getting them to sync to a trusted time source.
