Here's what I'd recommend On one server (not a DC), install the Meinberg windows port of NTP http://www.meinbergglobal.com/english/sw/ntp.htm
When you install it, it will ask you if you want to disable the windows time service - let it do so. Configure it to use whatever Internet NTP sources you like. Insure that it is indeed syncing with the sources you supplied (use the command line tool ntpq) On your PDC emulator at least (better if you can do all DCs), do a "w32tm /config /manualpeerlist:xxx" where xxx is the server running NTP.
