Hmm. Central adminitration of all pool.ntp.org servers via ntpd's remote
configuration facility might be one way, allowing things like "instantly"
disallowing service for ttnet etc. But I very much doubt many timeserver
operators would be prepared to go that way.
("Move the intelligence to the host" can only be done by making the ntp
server more clever. The ntp clients are just outside of our sphere of
influence. Or, of course, by improving the part of the DNS which is under
our control, which is work in progress.)
