Darned clock watchers!

Joe,

If these are running on Windows machines then why not use the Windows 
NET TIME /SET command to set their clocks to that of a local (or 
net-based) time source?

I admit that in my set up it's pretty easy as I have a Samba domain on 
my Linux box.  I have this command run on every log in and the server 
looks to one of the net-based clock sources.  But there must be some not 
so difficult arrangement that will allow you to have one machine remain 
updated by a net based time source while the others look to it to set up 
their own clocks.  Then you only have to set up a Windows scheduled 
process to run a simple batch file every so often and the clocks will be 
quite accurate throughout the network.
