Can MultiNet change the system time for daylight savings time?

0

Yes, as long as the MultiNet Server is not functioning as a “local master”. In such a mode, the server is acting (or emulating) a high stratum clock, and only serves Universal Time (UT, or Greenwich Mean Time,GMT). It has no concept of Daylight savings and cannot step it’s own clock. This mode is usually used by a server that has special clock hardware and the network has clients that connect to this server because they have no access to the internet master clocks. MultiNet clients (peers) that use this clock for reference, will be able to switch from DST to Standard Time and visa-versa just as if they were getting time synchronization from Internet high stratum network clocks.
