So how would I even begin to determine where that’s occurring if it’s not within our network? We have no control over that to get it removed in any case.
It sounds like they are blocking remote side not this end(meaning Ask’s or others servers, etc. from reaching here) if I’m reading what you wrote correctly.

Polling 108.76.168.145 from a client using UDP port=123 works. Same client, same server, polling using other UDP ports fails.

Yes if I put up tcpdump on the Linux hosts and do a packet capture on port 123 I can see traffic from many other hosts coming into all 5 of the systems here and no one is reporting any outages (including where I'm employed that used them and monitors them - they were unreachable we'd have pages going off within 5-10 minutes). There is no firewalling that would block by IP or port for port 123 and nothing has changed here for set up at that time to cause them to suddenly drop out. Is there some way I can see what the Pool Status polling is looking like from the NTP Pool end to get more of a clue as to why this has suddenly started to fail? I've sent email to Ask but haven't yet received a reply.
