There is currently no logging.  It is a default Debian install.

I added a logfile directive and this shows up when I restart the server:

10 Nov 15:31:07 ntpd[5587]: Soliciting pool server 81.4.121.228

ping 81.4.121.228
PING 81.4.121.228 (81.4.121.228) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 81.4.121.228: icmp_req=1 ttl=59 time=11.0 ms
64 bytes from 81.4.121.228: icmp_req=2 ttl=59 time=9.16 ms

After some time another line is logged:

10 Nov 15:32:11 ntpd[5587]: Soliciting pool server 5.200.6.34

ping 5.200.6.34
PING 5.200.6.34 (5.200.6.34) 56(84) bytes of data.
64 bytes from 5.200.6.34: icmp_req=1 ttl=58 time=11.8 ms
64 bytes from 5.200.6.34: icmp_req=2 ttl=58 time=11.3 ms

The servers are reachable.
But:

 pool.ntp.org    .POOL.          16 p    -   64    0    0.000    0.000   0.002

As a test I enter the above two addresses as server in /etc/ntp.conf
and restart the server:

+81.4.121.228    193.79.237.14    2 u   16   64    1    9.329    0.935   0.002
 5.200.6.34      193.79.237.14    2 u   15   64    1   11.687   -2.787   0.002

So they are fine.

It works perfectly fine when I enter one or more "server pool.ntp.org"
lines in the config.  The problem only occurs when I use "pool" instead
of "server".
