Description Michael Grandjean

It should be possible to specify NTP peers via UCR. Configuring peers is often a compliance requirement to achieve a setup similiar to this:


   1a  1b     1c  1d     1e  1f      outside
... \ / ...... \ / ...... \ / ..............
     2a ---p--- 2b ---p--- 2c        inside


Where: 1 = stratum-1, 2 = stratum-2, p = peer

see `man 5 ntp.conf` -> "peer" in addition to "server" to allow bi-directional sync between servers of same stratum inside a corporate network for redundancy.

see <http://www.ntp.org/ntpfaq/NTP-s-config-adv.htm#AEN3101> for a description of the idea.

There is a Customer ID set so I set the flag "Enterprise Customer affected".
