NimbostratusGreat point, Mark. I believe I addressed that question in my initial post, which DevCentral trashed as I was not logged in at the time. I had to retype the post and left out the bit about the NTP services functioning.
As a temporary measure, when I first configured the monitor, I set up a monitor to check port 123. The Nodes were all Active. The Printers which are using the VS/VIP received their NTP configurations without a problem.
The issue is when I remove the "MON_NTP_123" monitor and replace it with the "MON_EXT_NTP" monitor.
Other systems using the Nodes directly (not going through the VS/VIP/F5) are also obtaining time synchronization appropriately.
I can try deleting and importing the monitor file again, without modifying it, but I truly would expect the program to fail if it contained characters that the F5 was not happy with. Not to say that the code on this page is that way, but with the copying and pasting I had to do on a Mac OS, who knows what characters were thrown into the mix. ;)
