What's the process for adding IPv6 servers to the pool? Once we
complete some upgrades I should be able to enable v6 on our two time
servers. Their v4 addresses are already added in the pool, should I
remove them and readd once the AAAA records are available?
On a related note, we do offer native IPv6 dedicated servers in the US. ;)

I already deleted it but somewhere in this thread people asked about
places that support IPv6.
I got a dedicated server from kimsufi.ie (they have a bunch of various
TLDs for different countries but .ie (ireland) is where you go if in US)
that's fairly inexpensive. Downside for someone in US is the server is
located in France. But it supports native IPv6. Only native IPv6 I've
seen in states is on VPSs which shouldn't have ntpd running on them.
They are working on getting a datacenter in canada running by end of the
year. Hopefully they'll still have an inexpensive dedicated server.

Please don't add machines which are behind a VPN tunnel to the NTP pool.
They will experience additional noisy delays as a consequence of the
VPN crypto which make them undesirable as timeservers.
Two reasons I don't think this is necessarily a "hard rule":
1) The people who'll read a rule like that (or this list) are the people most
likely to take care in maintaining their NTP server, understand how the pool
system works etc. In other words, the people most likely to follow a rule like
that are not the ones who need to.
2) There are many many other reasons a server is undesirable as a timeserver.
I think it's best if we just stick to what we can measure with automated
monitoring. The one big exception is longevity of the service; but I haven't
thought of any way to predict or estimate this in advance based on the
information I have.
