The 'pool' directive is one way to find servers. The 'server' directive also works with the same DNS names, but it doesn't have the same mechanism to throw out 'bad' servers. I think there are a lot of systems using pool servers with the server directive because the pool project got going before released versions of ntpd supported the pool directive. -- These are my opinions.
