1) Use our vendor domain at the pool.
2) Point people at the pool website and encourage people to provide a server in the pool (as a courtesy to the pool guys). 3) Fix a spelling. 4) Comment out the local clock and include a link to documentation for use of the local clock on the ntp.org site. Approved by: re (kib)
