The pool DNS server, when you use "pool pool.ntp.org" or "server pool.ntp.org",

I get angry when a statement is made which can easily be shown
to be incorrect. What is your source for that statement?
This might be correct for the US, but definitely not here in Norway:

My WRT54GL WiFi router runs DD-WRT, it is using my local Telefiber DNS
server:
C:\>nslookup pool.ntp.org 94.139.66.250
Server: ns1.telefiber.no

I.e. I get the same three servers if I query that server directly.
None of them seems to be anywhere near .no, I get ping times from 130 to
170 ms.
