Is there any way for client code to determine if an IP Address is still in the 
pool?  Maybe something like a DNS lookup on d.c.b.a.pool.ntp.org

If there was a way to do that, it would be easy to update servers to check 
occasionally and stop using servers that have left the pool.

That won't catch the case where the pool DNS name is used as a server.  If we 
put a simple still-there check in the server case, clients would end up 
switching servers every time they checked.  I don't see any harm in that.
