I do not have a dns server on my home network. When I comment out the
ntpd_enable="YES" in rc.conf the msg gos away.

When I ping it I get this ip address  74.6.168.73
whois 74.6.168.73 says it is allocated to Oath holdings inc in new york.

drill  0.freebsd.pool.ntp.org shows me the same thing you posted.

isn't both drill and ping using my isp dns?

  Something sure is messed up with that domain name.
