Providing working examples is indeed a good thing.

At http://planet.debian.org I did seen that John Goerzen
uses an E-mail address from the  example.com domain.

Querying the whois database revealed that example.com
is owned by Internet Assigned Numbers Authority (IANA)

Going back to http://planet.debian.org showed
that John is actual "using" nospam@example.com 
so there goes the idea to CNAME ntp.example.com to a pool.ntp.org
address.

Backup to the proposal of Holger Wansing to use 1.debian.pool.ntp.org,
it resolves indeed _much better_ then ntp.example.


On second tought,
I think it is a good thing to train people to improve examples.
