From a quick check, extntp0.inf.ed.ac.uk isn't responding to port 80
so it already meets the requirement of not answering.
extntp1 does answer to port 80 with pictures of a building site.
Anyway that webserver claims to be Apache 2.2 so all you need to do
is add
# Redirect for ntp.pool.org
<VirtualHost *:80>
ServerName pool.ntp.org
ServerAlias *.pool.ntp.org
Redirect permanent / http://www.pool.ntp.org/
</VirtualHost>
to your virtual host configuration for your *existing* Apache set-
up. So you will not be adding any service. Furthermore, you will
actually be reducing load on your webserver this way.
