i would not have needed to edit the message again and resend it, as
at least someone would have received it in readable format.

On the firewall get the time from boulder, 'using rdate -s <address>'
Do the same on the other machines but make sure the cronjobs on
the machines behind the firewall occur after the firwall has been
updated. The 2 "time" lines should be uncommented in /etc/inetd.conf
otherwise the other machines will not get the time from the firewall.
Thats the way i would do it as that way there is no need to run
extra daemons.
