I'm trying to configure two new NTP stratum 2 servers that will provide time services for our entire 
network.

When I take a look at the running status, I see that my new servers show up as stratum 16.  Anyone 
know why are they not stratum 2?

# ntpq -p

Here is my configuration:

# cat /etc/ntp.conf | grep -v ^# | grep '^[a-z]'
restrict ocdcdns031.cml.lib.oh.us nomodify notrap
restrict rtr-76-1-vlan2.cml.lib.oh.us nomodify notrap

peer rtr-73-1-vlan733.columbuslibrary.org
fudge 127.127.1.1 stratum 12
