Set your time server to a different server. You can try free ones on the
Internet (http://tf.nist.gov/tf-cgi/servers.cgi) or make your own time
server.
Are your Macs managed? Maybe something is giving them time.
I don't know how your computers can go out of sync for short period of time
because they should keep on ticking normally even if they don't connect to a
time server. I believe you have 5 minutes leeway for the Macs to log in.
