Are you sure that they are dead, or just not responding to NTP control
mode (mode 6) packets? Because mode 6 is what ntptrace uses, when the
actual NTP time queries are sent/received using modes 1-5. All pool
servers that I just tried did answer to normal time queries (mode 3)
just fine. Some server operators choose to restrict mode 6 queries, that
is completely acceptable by the pool rules.

Yes. "ntpdate -q [server]" is a better test.
