I have run into this problem several times now. Always the problem is that the provided ntp-servers from dhcp is not used. In an enterprise environment I believe that it is quite common, that workstations don't have unrestricted access to the internet. In this case the result is that workstations will never update the system clock unless ntp is manually configured either by editing /etc/default/ntpdate or by installing and configuring ntpd.

On every system, both upgraded and fresh installs, i use a script (first attachment) for updating a DNS record through DNSSEC. Using /etc/network/interfaces or invoking dhclient directly correctly updates the DNS record (second attachment). Using network-manager the DNS record update script doesn't seem to run (third attachment). On a laptop it is inconvenient to constantly reconfigure devices. For desktops, a workaround is to have a dhcp entry in /etc/network/interfaces for the relevant connection. As a side note, the script is designed to work with PPP ip-up.d as well. However, I haven't yet found a way to configure network-manager to dial up to 3G over a bluetooth connected modem. It may apply here similarily though. Wvdial works with the script.
