ntp error messages in syslog "Network is down"

Bob WeinmannSep 11 2013 — edited Sep 16 2013

Created a new OL6 server running under OVM 3.1.1.  Server has been updated to latest levels from ULN.

Configured NTP and it is functioning normally and is serving time to other hosts on the local network.

However, it is generating errors in the syslog as follows.

The server has full access to external public networks, and DNS is working.  We are synchconizing with ntp pool servers as follows.

server 0.ca.pool.ntp.org
server 1.ca.pool.ntp.org
server 2.ca.pool.ntp.org

Any ideas?

Thx
