I think it is not really pool-specific to re-do DNS lookups. I can understand that ntpd does not want to do a lookup at regular intervals, because that would mean it could be locking to a different server after every lookup cycle and may suffer strange instabilities. However, a "when the server is dead for some time and it was configured with a DNS name rather than a fixed address, do a new DNS lookup and try again" patch could help not only pool users but also users of servers that have moved to another address.
