NTP nopeer restricion

Hi,

I am setting up a some access restrictions rules for our NTP server using the restrict option. I have in mind to set the following restriction rule for clients which are allowed to set their time with our server:

Code:
restrict subnet_IP subnet_mask  nomodify notrap nopeer

My question is about the "nopeer" option. My wish would be that the meaning is:
  • if a remote machine sends a peer query: do not form a peer (i.e. do not let the remote machine set your own time) BUT STILL answer to the time request (i.e. let the remote machine set it's time using your time)

Is it like this? or is it:
  • if a remote machine sends a peer query: do not let the remote machine set your own time AND DO NOT answer to the time request (i.e. DO NOT let the remote machine set it's time using your time)
??

The point is that some machine which should be allowed to get the time are windows machines which BY DEFAULT send peer queries (I know this can be changed but it would be a major effort to change this settings on all of them)

Thanks
