Per request, yes-- with something like a 150 or 300 second TTL. Hopefully, you get a different set of hosts returned from: dig 0.uk.pool.ntp.org ..vs.. dig 1.uk.pool.ntp.org > So if ntpd relies on there being around 10 servers for some of its monitoring > capabilities to kick in then we seem to have a bit of a disconnect. ntpd wants to have at least 4 servers around for falseticker detection. Using the pool directive should encourage it to get at least 5 - 6 sources, but you might have to wait some time before it re-queries for new servers if you only listed a single pool directive.
