I        WD> also don't understand what needs to be synchronized at all. There will        WD> always be a 7hr delay for Z1-data in Z2, plus every ZC to my knowledge        WD> uses the latest zone-segments available ... there's no way on        WD> improving on that.              A quote from another area that you apparently do not read:              === start quote ===               AL> By virtue of geography, Z1 nodelists for a given julian day        AL> are produced a few hours after the Z2 nodelist for that day.              4) It need not be. There is no formal rule that ZCs MUST issue "their"       nodelist at or       shortly after 00:00 local time.              5) If the ZCs would coordinate and synchronise their efforts there need not be       delays.       For example ZCs could agree to issue nodelists at 00:15 UTC. The ZCs could       agree to       exchange zone segments with each other between 23:45 and 00:00 UTC. Segments       submitted       by RCs before 23:30 UTC would be guaranteed to make it into the next nodelist.       With Fido over IP there is no need for the old system of exchanging zone       segments on       Wednesday to make it into Friday's nodelist. With nodelist segments being       transfered in       seconds at virtually no cost, there is no need for such delays.              === end quote ===              Cheers, Michiel              --- GoldED+/W32-MSVC 1.1.5-b20170303        * Origin: http://www.vlist.eu (2:280/5555)       SEEN-BY: 1/123 10/0 1 15/0 90/1 102/401 103/1 705 105/81 106/201 120/340       SEEN-BY: 123/131 124/5016 129/305 330 331 153/757 7715 154/10 203/0       SEEN-BY: 214/22 218/0 1 109 650 700 840 860 870 880 220/70 221/0 6       SEEN-BY: 226/17 30 227/114 229/110 111 112 113 206 317 424 426 428       SEEN-BY: 229/470 664 700 240/5832 266/512 267/800 280/464 5003 5555       SEEN-BY: 282/1038 292/854 8125 301/1 310/31 317/3 320/219 322/757       SEEN-BY: 341/234 342/200 396/45 423/120 460/58 633/280 712/848 770/1       SEEN-BY: 770/100 340 772/210 220 230       PATH: 280/5555 464 770/1 218/840 700 229/426           |
