Is the www.pool.ntp.org server down? This bring up another question - how redundant is the pool.ntp.org infrastructure- specifically the primary DNS server - if it fails what happens?
The critical single point of failure currently is generating the zone files. There are (at least) two ways to solve it.
1) Replicate the database and generate the zone file from various points (possibly even on each of the DNS servers). 2) Make the DNS servers know about all the servers and randomize them there rather than when generating the zone file.
2) will also solve the load spike problem, so that's what I am planning to pursue first.
The system could be made into a true cluster thing with multiple monitoring stations etc etc, but that seems like way too much added complexity for a potential small gain.
