Errrm, yes, that is a problem.

Actually, we had a problem that our linux box kept setting itself 10
hours ahead of time, and the webserver suffered similar problems, so
after many attempts at correcting the time, I got fed up and went to
using NTP to sync the computers.

Our /etc/ntp/step-tickers on the webserver looks like this:

ntp.saard.net
ntp.adelaide.edu.au
augean.eleceng.adelaide.edu.au
time.esac.com.au
ntp.cs.mu.oz.au

On the Windows platform, I've also found Nettime <http://nettime.sf.net>
very useful. It's both a NTP client and server, that sits unobtrusively
in the system tray synchronising the system time to a list of time servers.
