Re: [outages] DNS SERVFAIL for nist.gov

Of course. Like I stated in the original email, we don’t use NIST for time sync. We actually have a GPS and a PTP feed. WE MUST, HOWEVER, VALIDATE OUR SYSTEM TIMES VERSUS THE INTERNET NIST SERVERS VIA FINRA REGULATIONS Yes, it is stupid No, it isn’t a good idea FINRA specifically state that we MUST run a comparison and log any differences between our current time and Internet NIST servers. I have challenged them on this a number of times, but with no luck. if we don’t want to get fined and prevented from trading, we have to follow FINRA regulations..
