The majority of folks offering NTP services to the pool are doing other things 
with the machines running ntpd.  Trying to connect to any service except NTP 
via a *.pool.ntp.org DNS name is explicitly outside of scope.

This said, it is considered polite for a machine also running a webserver to 
setup a helpful VirtualHost entry, something like:

<VirtualHost *:80>
    ServerName pool.ntp.org
    ServerAlias *.pool.ntp.org
    Redirect permanent / http://www.pool.ntp.org/
</VirtualHost>

...but this is by no means a requirement for a host to participate in the NTP 
pool.
