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...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.
