Hello,

as mentioned on the main pool.ntp.org page the server 2.pool.ntp.org
has IPv6 IP address and AAAA record in DNS.
However it is not resolvable from IPv6-only nameserver. I think this
is because the .org nameservers do not have AAAA glue record for
nameservers of ntp.org:

# dig +noall +additional -t ns ntp.org @b2.org.afilias-nst.org
ns1.ntp.org.            86400   IN      A       149.20.68.3
ns2.ntp.org.            86400   IN      A       149.20.68.4
huey.ntp.org.           86400   IN      A       128.4.40.10
louie.ntp.org.          172800  IN      A       128.4.40.12
maccarony.ntp.org.      86400   IN      A       128.4.35.16

Cheers,
