I agree if you have other servers provided by your upstream, but
otherwise unfortunately pool.ntp.org servers can be so unreliable
that I would never recommend using less than 5 of them if that's all
you've got.

5 is a sensible minimum number of servers anyway, if using public
servers.

Cheers,
Andy
