ntpd_pools

Servers provided by DNS round robin must be added to ntpd_pools because special treatment for restrictions is required. ntpd >= 4.2.7 supports pool directive and a delegate pool name can be used. see http://support.ntp.org/bin/view/Support/ConfiguringNTP#Section_6.10 for detail

ntpd_supports_pool

ntpd_supports_pool is a fact which is true when ntpd >= 4.2.7 and false when ntpd < 4.2.7.
