Again, it supports it exactly the same way as the pool is currently
working with DNS: You want another server, you ask another time.  You
are not guaranteed to get back a different server and have to sort out
any duplication yourself.

The open question was if any of this can be made more efficient now that
we ask an NTS-KE instead of a DNS server.  That may or may not be helped
with changes to the protocol, but aside from being quite inefficient,
the current RFC lets you deal with pools just fine.

You have the same problem with plain NTP and you can use the same
solution: ask again until you get a different answer.
