I'm in the same situation but it won't do me much good if they delete the 
servers from the pool, they've already pulled them from being polled at -20 so 
I guess it's irrelevant. There's really not a lot we can do on this end that I 
can see if the monitor is blocked by some ISP someplace there's no way I'm 
getting it unblocked.

Subject: Re: [Pool] NTP Status Pool Polling not reaching any of 5 NTP Servers 
but other users/Clients can reach

I've been seeing issues for a couple months with this happening now and then 
and its from all my servers on all different Network connections.  I had one 
drop all the way down to -100 for a week and then just start reporting again. I 
don't put much faith into the monitoring server these days. I have one sever 
that is multi homed that reported perfect while on the other link it was losing 
scoring for inaccurate time....
