I was having problems adding my host to the NTP pool. Once I figured it out, I thought I'd share the answer so others might benefit from the knowledge.
Since everything in the NTP pool is IP based, I wanted to allocate 216.194.210.220 out of my CIDR block to NTP. In case I needed to move the NTP process to another machine, I setup an ifconfig alias on one of my Linux hosts to the NTP address. The thing that took me a while to figure out was I needed to add "-L" to the ntpd options so ntpd would listen on both IP addresses. On my RedHat machine, I had to add "-L" to /etc/sysconfig/ntpd. I suggest that "http://www.pool.ntp.org/join/configuration.html"; be modified to include that flag is needed if you have an IP alias.
