Distributors of NTP-enabled operating systems are generally not
permitted to use the bare "pool.ntp.org" DNS name in any default NTP
configurations[1].  To this end, I have been arranging a
SmartOS-specific DNS name with the NTP Pool Project that we _can_ use.
Hopefully this will be the default in SmartOS soon -- I'll keep you
posted!
