Yep - we went through all our servers (> 80) taking care of NTP weeks ago, and 
I was about to respond to you with exactly the same link. <g>

For those reading this, VMware's own knowledgebase says, explicitly, in the 
best practices for timekeeping for Linux:
> NTP Recommendations
> Note: In all cases use NTP instead of VMware Tools periodic 
> time synchronization. Also, you may need to open the 
> firewall (UPD 123) to allow NTP traffic.
