You could do this but don't use multiple copies of the same line. With
the latest development version you can use the pool option:

pool time.example.com

and it will use up to the first 10 ip addresses returned by the resolver.

ntpd doesn't know about different things. All it keeps track of is the
IP address returned by the resolver.
