That's a misconception. While I trust Richard Schmidt in what he says,
that's is not what you think he says.
It's hard to misinterpret "590SG load balancers" and :
"It is the load balancer's duty to assign each incoming NTP request to one
of the available servers, balancing the load by round-robin, weighted
round-robin, least active connections, or other algorithm. Each NTP server
returns packets to the load balancer for forwarding back to the requestor."
I hope that description is inaccurate, because of the additional
delay and jitter added by passing twice through the front end.
I would expect the load balancer to only provide the IP
addresses of the currently lowest loaded and highest quality
servers closest to the client, as the NTP Pool does.
