The list of NIST NTP servers is down for me, is anyone else seeing this?
I'm getting a 404 error
http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi
Yeah, it looks like it's down
stu
It's up from Vancouver, Canada. No 404 from here.
Try again.
Just worked fine for me.
I'm still getting a 404. I am using a Windstream backbone, is this maybe
path/server specific. Here is a dig.

I concur, that URL results in 404 for me too. Much content which had
been reliably available at http://tf.nist.gov and
http://www.boulder.nist.gov/ seems to have vanished or broken lately.
Not aware of alternate source. I prefer the NTP.org pools and other
sources anyway, for reliability.
I didn't memorize the federal time servers, but wasn't simply time.gov
one of them?
~$ ntptrace time.gov
2610:20:6005:13::35: timed out, nothing received
***Request timed out
http://www.time.gov/about.html leads to
http://www.boulder.nist.gov/timefreq/ which redirects to the broken
http://tf.nist.gov ... so this has got to be an error.
Maybe they're doing some rearranging and moving, starting with the
removing old part.
At least tf.nist.gov is *up*, giving 403s and 404s. Keying in on .gov
and ipv6 and related debacles, I wonder if results vary depending on
whether one uses v4 or v6...idle speculation.
Perhaps contact via http://www.nist.gov/public_affairs/contact.cfm
(which, amusingly, came with a Foresee survey when I loaded it moments
ago...) or timeinfo@boulder.nist.gov <mailto:timeinfo@boulder.nist.gov>
may yield something.

Add me to the list of "it works" people.

While boulder.nist does now seem to be a redirect, tf.nist and the child
page are both working from Sprint LTE.

time.nist.gov is the round-robin.
All this leads me to a pretty important question:
What happens if Judah Levine gets hit by a bus?

404 from Kabel Deutschland reaching tf.nist.gov via AS1273, a small hoster in Hamburg, Germany via AS194, Inception Hosting (UK) via AS209; but proper page from VZ FIOS in Framingham, MA also via AS209.
From AS13135, I get 404 on the web page, but my ntpd syncs to 128.138.141.172 just fine.

Seems to be working over IPv4, not over IPv6.

That is interesting as the computer I am using is on dual-stack, and I am
probably using IPv6 to reach it.
Also getting a 404 over IPv6. You can verify what transport we're using in Firefox using the SixorNot plugin.
hth,

"happy eyeballs"
Happy Eyeballs has nothing to do with it. This is a server misconfiguration plain and simple.

I meant that it seems that v4 is broken, but v6 is not.
so sure, it's a server thing, but he's seeing different results maybe
as a side effect of eyeballs.
I disabled IPv6 on my machine and was able to pull it up, reenable IPv6 and
I start getting 404's.
Other way around.
Still acting up for me this morning.
It is now working over IPv6
