Not in my experience, but I don't know how useful that is to know because I 
don't know how to characterise my experience in any meaningful way :-)

I'm interested in the idea of anycasting one of the pool.ntp.org herd-members. 
Every time I've suggested such a thing I've been told (paraphrasing) that a 
good (server, client) NTP session exhibits reasonable RTT stability, this 
constitutes, in effect, a long-lived transaction, and hence anycast is not a 
good answer unless you have confidence that the potential for oscillations is 
low, or that the frequency of the oscillations is very low (i.e. in a private 
network this might be a good answer, but across the public Internet it's a poor 
answer).

Has the thinking changed, or did I just misunderstand?
