[ntp:hackers] How many servers for a pool config line?

The current setup is 10 or as many as it can get from the DNS info.

Is 10 too many?

  Should ntpd log something if it can't get all 10?
  Or tell you how many it got all the time?
  Or tell you their IP Addresses?
  Or ...

Things like 0.pool.ntp.org are currently returning 5 IP Addresses.

That feels good to me.  Maybe overkill.
