[TriLUG] ntp.pool servers dropping out

[Joseph Mack NA3T]

I get my ntp from ntp.pool, where I sync against 3 randomly 
chosen ntp servers. I had expected that once I'd started 
ntpd that I would keep syching against the same servers till 
I rebooted the machine, but I find that servers disappear 
one at a time (I guess maybe loose one every month or two, 
and ntpq shows that I haven't contacted that server for 
10days or so). Eventually I have to restart ntpd and get a 
fresh batch of ntp servers.

Is this normal?

Thanks Joe
