Correct NTP clents will never step time backwards. The technique used to adjust a clock which is fast is to repeatedly stop the clock for very short periods of time until the time is correct. If the adjustmant needed is large then this is done over a long period of time. If the adjustment is very large then the client will not adust the clock at all. I really doubt an NTP client is causing your propbelm (if it is than it's a really badly broken client).
