server and their source port is chosen arbitrarily by the operating system.
However, you can use the @code{acquisitionport} directive to explicitly specify
a port and use only one socket (per IPv4/IPv6 address family) for all
configured servers. This may be useful for getting through firewalls.
configured servers. This may be useful for getting through firewalls. If set
to 0, the source port of the socket will be chosen arbitrarily.
It may be set to the same port as used by the NTP server (@pxref{port
directive}) to use only one socket for all NTP packets.
