With the current code, you can't.
I don't think we should tangle that discussion with NTS.

I think there is a reasonable parallel between get another server via DNS and
get another server via NTS-KE.
There are (at least) two ways to interpret:
pool pool.example.com nts
1) It could do a NTS-KE connection to pool.example.com and get back several IP
Addresses and associated cookies. The protocol doesn't support that yet, but
seems reasonable to extend.
2) It could do a DNS lookup on pool.example.com, get back several IP
addresses, then do a NTS-KE dance with each address.
