Hey, I would suggest it might be worth testing using 'ntpdate -q xx.xx.xx.xx' and looking at the delay number as well as ping - sometimes you will run across servers that that don't accept pings but have an ntp server running (or have bad NTP delay despite good ping).
I had a bit of a dig around and found a new servers in the Middle-east that are included in the pool that may be worth testing: Iran: ns1.arianrp.ir Saudi Arabia: time1.isu.net.sa time2.isu.net.sa Qatar: gw.qstrs.com Also some others that may be "close" depending on the connectivity of the region: Madagascar: ntp.malagasy.com Armenia: ntp.amnic.net It may also be worth looking at Greece/Turkey due to the small(ish) distance across the Med: Turkey: ntp1.sibernet.com.tr ntp.ramtek.net.tr Greece: chronos.asda.gr ntp.asda.gr ntp.mfa.gr ntp.databank.com.gr Hope these help!
