Hi,
having a little trouble with NTP on my routers + cannot find any decent documentation on this one.
below is a chain of routers in the NTP comms path
Internet Time Source
V
V
My Internet Router(show ntp ass shows in sync with Internet Time Source master)
V
V
Microsoft server running NTP 4 on a DMZ(all in sync and looks good using Internet router above)
V
V
My 7200 Core Router1(Configured to use Microsort Server above but not in Sync)
V
V
My 7200 Core Router 2(Configured to use Core Router 1 as a source but not in sync)
On the Core router 1, when I enter the Server command pointing towards the Microsoft Server running NTP 4) it selects as master and becomes synced, but over say 5 minutes it then looses sync and marks the source as insane.(please see below taken over a 5 minute spell)
Any pointers would be appreciated.

Windows generally runs a simplified version of NTP and not the full implementation. Since we do not have any specifics about your Windows server we can not know whether it is doing anything special for Time Services or is running the generic Windows Time Service. So my advice to you is to have the core routers point to the Internet router as their NTP server rather than having them use the Windows server as their NTP server.
