I'm using DNS to hold forward zone records for my domain (example.com) and I'd like to add ntp as well so my servers can sync the time and reduce load off of third-party ntp pool.
I understand it's best to always separate services, but I wasn't sure if NTP was one of those. Is there any security risks of having both DNS and NTP on the same server?
Yes, you can do this, but make sure its not exposed to the internet. – cybernard – 2015-08-07T01:03:43.650
I will use iptables to restrict the firewall to only allow my servers to sync with my NTP server and then setup another rule for the NTP server to only sync outbound UDP 123. – linmod77x – 2015-08-07T01:56:07.803
