<dt><tt>-g <i>delay</i>, --gap <i>delay</i></tt></dt>
<dd>Specify the <i>delay</i> in milliseconds between outgoing queries, defaulting to 50. <tt>sntp</tt> sends queries to all provided hostnames/addresses in short succession, and by default terminates once the first valid response is received. With multiple time sources provided, all but one will not be used. To limit the number of queries whose responses will not be used, each query is separated from the preceding one by <i>delay</i> milliseconds, to allow time for responses to earlier queries to be received. A larger <i>delay</i> reduces the query load on the time sources, increasing the time to receive a valid response if the first source attempted is slow or unreachable.</dd>
