Is it possible to have PTPd bind to more than one interface as a master. I have a server that has 3 nics, and 2 of them are directly connected to computers that I want to run PTPd as a slave on. Is this possible?

Yes, you should be able to do that by running several instances of PTPd, one per interface. The trick is to ensure that they win the master/slave test and that only one set's the clock. The relevant command-line options are: -b to set the interface (e.g. "-b eth1"), -s to set the stratum and win the master/slave test (e.g. "-s2") and -t to not set the computer's clock.
