On this point - if Ask hasn't changed the script: I wrote it to only send a
single ntp request. So network irregularities will have a big short term
effect.
But remember that if your server doesn't have problems, you can miss 2 such
requests completely and you're still at a score of 8.3, and so you're still
included in the pool. Unless you have a 'score +20.000' fetish, this won't
harm you at all. And since servers are only polled relatively rarely, a
transient network error won't usually get your server excluded.
