      Description of problem:

      When a chrony.conf references pool "0.rhel.pool.ntp.org" as documented in https://docs.openshift.com/container-platform/4.11/installing/install_config/installing-customizing.html#installation-special-config-chrony_installing-customizing the time syncing stops working and cluster fires NodeClockNotSynchronising alerts.
      

      Version-Release number of selected component (if applicable):

      OpenShift 4.11.18
      

      How reproducible:

      
      

      Steps to Reproduce:

      1. Install 4.11.18 
      2. oc get nodes
      3. oc debug node/some-node-from-previous-command
      4. cat /etc/chrony.conf
      5. chronyc sources
      6. update pool to 0.rhel.pool.ntp.org
      7. sudo systemctl restart chronyd

      Servers could be different, but columns should not contain that many zeros
