That brings up an interesting can of worms.
If you run a NAT box with lots of clients, please don't point your NTP clients
at the pool. I can't tell your/their traffic from DDoS traffic.
Please setup your own NTP server(s) and point your customers at them. (If you
need help with that, poke me off-list.)
I have a couple of servers in the pool. The pool distributes the load by
rotating DNS entries with a 150 second TTL. I see bursts of 100 to 1000
requests per second for roughly 150 seconds.
