Of course. I guess I was not clear, but the point was that each answer
can contain multiple addresses, and the 'server' config just picks
one, while the 'pool' config takes advantage of this. This was in
response to the statement that "only one IP is fetched from a DNS
server at a time. That's a fact of the DNS system." It's more a fact
of the ntpd and its configuration, not DNS.
