Hmmm. Sometime back I had noticed on my servers using the pool, that a couple
of the selected servers had stopped responding. I did not know at the time that
that situation was supposed to be dynamically corrected so I dropped the pool
as being unreliable. Maybe there is some issue. I just re-configured 4 servers
back to using the pool and will monitor for black sheep.

It also seems to be soliciting every minute and 7 secs. rather than hourly.
