Shouldn't we have an instruction page on smart features like this?
Feel free to add it to the wiki.  :-)
Ok, I will.
But what wiki? Never found anything but support.ntp.org, but that doen't
seem to have a pool section.
Give us a link please.

http://www.socialtext.net/ntp/

Great ! ;-)

Just curious, what time to live value do you use ? e.g. for how long other name servers querying the pool DNSs are instructed to cache the IPs returned by the pool DNSs ?

Also, I agree that geographical location is close enough for the system to work but it is nevertheless interesting to see that some big providers do not talk to each other that much (e.g. gateways in major cities). A typical example is Videotron and Bell/Sympatico in Quebec, Canada. Here is a traceroute to my neighbour cable-modem. Packets travelled 1800 miles and my neighbour is across the street ;-)

I do not know why, but Videotron and Bell/Sympatico have only been talking to each other in Chicago for years. I guess their definition of major cities is New York, Chicago and San Francisco ;-)
