Your machine will only show up when it's returned under one of the 
*.pool.ntp.org zones. Only 5 servers are returned per query (this is how 
the pool's load balancing works), giving only 240 someodd IPv4 results 
after querying every zone. Eventually, it will (in theory) query every 
host in the pool.

Having run since earlier today, your machine now appears as one of the 
75 logged IPv6 capable hosts:
ntp.ipartners.pl has IPv6 address 2001:4190:8002:1::143

See

for the required changes to prefer A records. That is still strange though.
