Hmmm, are you using the same localtime in all machines? I remember having the same problem several years ago, in 3.x, with a server. The clock kept walking. Hardware was OK. It came back to normal after setting localtime correctly. Remember, if you are in Pacific Time you are GMT+8 (some people wrongly uses GMT-8), it means you have to add 8h to your localtime in order to get GMT. Your NTPD will never be stable with a wrong localtime setting.
