yes, there are issues with a clock in vmware virtual hosts. ntpd is not a solution, the right way is to run ntpd on physical machine and set up virtual machines to sync clock with the physical one (using vmware tools)
Even that is insufficient; the clock synchronization is neither continuous nor deterministic so there are long periods of time where the virtual clocks drift before they're corrected by the next sync.

Has anyone tried mirroring or multimaster under VMware i.e. are the virtual clocks stable enough? We're starting to use VMware to cut down on the number of physical hosts, but I'd like to use the latest 2.4 features as well.
I don't have any long-term experience with that setup, just use VMware for short-duration tests. My suspicion is that the clock stability isn't very good, and ntpd can't correct for it...
