DHCP Server has an option for ntp server. Obviously this is in use at your site and the linux dhcp client is smart enough to use it. How do you exactly use your ntp client? ntpd -q? You could try surviving with ntpdate only, using your own script which you put into your rc.local an crontab files. Alternatively you could try "chmod 400 /etc/ntp.conf", maybe the dhcp client gives up overwriting a read-only file.
