In the Linux world and to an extent nowdays in the Windows world NTP seems to be the popular system. Its an internet standard that will let you lock your machiens to each other and to global time sources that ultimately anchor back to atomic clocks. xntpd is the Linux daemon for this, but I don't know if VM has anything of its own to talk ntp
