I have 4 servers setup to use the *.vmware.pool.ntp.org for time synchronization. When I run watch "ntpq -p" per KB article it only looks like one of the four actually adjusts it's clock.
remote refid st t when poll reach delay offset jitter
==============================================================================
LOCAL(0) LOCAL(0) 10 l 58 64 377 0.000 0.000 0.008
*ntp.your.org .CDMA. 1 u 381 1024 377 32.103 14.407 7.833

+tesla.fireduck. prowlingtabby.m 2 u 448 1024 377 11.834 11.770 7.267
The other servers all look like this:

My resident Linux guru is thinking that maybe only 1 of them is skewed enough that it actually has to adjust it's time but admits it's just a guess.
The servers configs all look the same in terms of ntp.conf, step-tickers, hosts file and dns config,
Any ideas?
