Use of minservers Attribute with Systems on Point-to-Point Lines
If you are using DTS on a system that connects to a LAN through a point-to-point WAN link, the solitary system never has more than one local server available. The recommended minservers attribute setting for such a system is 3. If the system is configured as a clerk, it does not have any local servers, and must query three global servers to synchronize. If the system is configured as a server, it must query two global servers to synchronize.
