There's an intermittent bug in 4.2.7p270 that seems to drop the last
Internet peer during startup. Note this bug exists in the unmodified source
code so it's nothing to do with any of the tinkering I've done.
I have two refclocks and five Internet hosts configured for a total of seven
peers. Once in a while, it fails to configure the last Internet peer and
the ntpq billboard shows a missing entry as does the log file where there is
one fewer mobilize message. Restarting sometimes helps. One out of every
three or four restarts has a problem.
Most likely this is a DNS failure. When it occurs, check your ntp.log
or syslog for a "giving up resolving host" message. That message's
details might suggest a change to improve the situation.

No error messages for DNS in the logs (grep for DNS, giving, host,
lookup, resolve). It would appear DNS worked but the peer simply
vanished sometime during startup.
Is there a pruning process that occurs if two identical IPs come
through? I'm wondering if two of the round-robin pool servers happened
to deliver the same IP.
