So you do! I didn't realize that, so I RTFM'ed.
http://www.pool.ntp.org/
What you're supposed to do is add a 3 or 4 servers to the configuration:
0.pool.ntp.org, 1.pool.ntp... The number hosts do seem to return
different lists.
('host 0.pool.ntp.org | sort' and 'host 1.pool.ntp.org | sort' have
different IPs at the top and bottom. Without the digits, they don't.)
