I don't recall how I originally setup NTP, and I DID have issues in the beginning, but they have long since been resolved. If you run into time issues and have specific questions, email the list and I'll do my best to get back to you with info about how my system is setup.

This issue only relates to servers attached to an iSCSI SAN, and has already been fixed for RHEL and SUSE. I have a ticket open with them now to address the issue with Ubuntu.

I have Suse 10.2 and Nagios, MRTG, Netdirector in production running on 
vmware GSX server, soon we migrate it to the vmware ESX cluster. The 
only problems was the solved filesystem issue after a diskerror. It 
happens once on the ESX, the san was on that moment not multipath.
The time on ESX gives no problem, on vmware-server, the free one, there 
is time a problem. NTP is configurerd to synchro the local time from a 
server in DMZ, this one connect to the public time servers.
Conclusion: why not use VMware
