IIRC the default for Xen is to slave the DomU's 
to Dom0 - I don't know what sort of offset 
is/isn't applied. In the docs there is a note 
about how to turn this off so that each DomU can 
run it's own virtual clock - I suggest you do 
this and then run ntp (not ntpdate) to maintain 
sync. If you don't know a public server, then 
lookup pool.ntp.org which is a global array of 
public servers set up to be shared.
