[Spacewalk-list] RHNSD interval, splay time?

[Marcin Figura]

Hello,

   I am trying to understand better how rhnsd works and since I have plans
to connect about thousand clients. With current 200 clients all have
interval set to 60 minutes which is recommended minimal pooling time.

  So when I schedule a task not all clients contact spacewalk server at the
same time which is good but that makes me believe there must be a splay
time set for each client. If there was no splay time, all clients will
connect at every full hour , for example 1:00, 2:00, 3:00 ...

   Any assistance with few questions below very appreciated:

   - How its being determined when client should check with spacewalk
   server? Is it the time since first registration of the client with the
   server and then every 60 minutes?
   - What if the interval is set to 30 minutes? Why its not recommended?
