The pool has a special problem: every server operator can do what he wants with requests to http://pool.ntp.org/ - so even if some people put in a robots.txt with Disallow, another may well explicitely invite search engines... Nothing we can do, except convince every server operator that installing the redirect to www.pool.ntp.org is worthwhile. cheers -- vbi -- featured product: the GNU Compiler Collection - http://gcc.gnu.org
