The answer you're looking for is UTC. Standard practice around here is to -Always- convert times to UTC before storing them on the server. The client app is then responsible for converting back to local time whenever a date is displayed. The conversion to UTC can be done on either the server or client, but if it's done on the client it renders the server's timezone completely irrelevant and also eliminates the need to pass the client's timezone to the server.
