If your system administrator absolutely insists on restricting by IP 
address, you should
 * ask him if he has a (reliable enough for your purpose) ntp server in the 
internal network already, and use that one or
 * ask him to set up an internal ntp timeserver (this is fairly trivial, as 
your certainly know, and doesn't need a server of its own since ntp is 
extremely light-weight.) or
 * not use the pool, but use one of the official public servers from the 
time servers list at 
<http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Servers/StratumTwoTimeServers>.  Using 
fixed pool timeservers by IP address is not recommended and not desired 
because pool timeservers can go away or change IP address every now and 
then.

(You ask to get the ip address of the pool hostname, which is a rather 
trivial question - may I recommend that you read some introductions about 
how Computers and the Internet work and how to use the tools that are 
available for your computer?  Understanding your tools can only help your 
working with them more efficiently.)

greetings from the country of watches
Adrian
