Well, Ask already said what the pool does. But I'd point out that,
pool issues aside, most (all?) NTP implementations resolve names to IPs
once at startup and use the IP thereafter. So, regardless of what the
pool does, a long-running client will stick with the IP - and most
clients are probably long-running in this sense.

I thought that recent NTP versions revisited the DNS lookup once in a
while?
I'm another person with a good-quality stratum-1 server, but stuck with a
dynamic IP address, however that seems to change only once every few
years!
Cheers,
David
