NTP problem - Clock too fast for NTP to keep up?

Well here is the rub.  The FC3 is actually a virtual server inside 
VMware GSX 3.1 running on a RHEL ES server.  I tried to get help using 
VMware in the subject but noone seems to want to tackle THAT problem :(

I've tried to resolve this with VMware but in the end they couldn't help 
me as Fedora is not yet a supported OS.

The host server is rock solid steady in it's time from it's hardware 
clock and using NTP with the same source I am trying to get the virtual 
servers to update from.

A windows virtual server has no problems inside VMware, just the Fedora 
Core 2 and 3 servers :(

I was hoping there was a way I could cajole NTP to work better despite 
what is causing the virtual server clock to run too fast.
