The /etc/ntp.conf File

The /etc/ntp.conf file is the main configuration file for Linux NTP in which you place the IP addresses of your Primery servers that  you want to use.  

1) First we specify the servers from you want to fatch the time (standard).

server 
 server1.example.com    # this is ntp server

2) If this server is also going to provide time for other computers, such as PCs, other Linux servers and networking devices, then you'll have to define the networks from which this server will accept NTP synchronization requests. You do so with a modified restrict statement removing the noquery keyword to allow the network to query your NTP server. The syntax is:

restrict 192.168.1.0 mask 255.255.255.0 nomodify notrap

3) Save the file and restart NTP for these settings to take effect. You can now configure other Linux hosts on your network to synchronize with this new master NTP server in a similar fashion

So can we use same host ip address for time query...you mention that

1) First we specify the servers from you want to fatch the time (standard).

server 
 server1.example.com    # this is ntp server
