2 days ago I go out pool due a ntpd problem (my old problem, resolved
with 4.2.0-8 debian sid, now no more segfault), while I was under 5
point I have an avarage of 660 client connected.

Your system work fine, but somebody around the world have a DNS
configured not very well, my ip appears in pool too. (Don't ask me why,
I've tried about 100 ping and a pair of time my ip is returned).

There isn't a way to say other DNS do NOT cache more than 1 hour?
