check out /etc/ntp/step-tickers file You can put ip addr's of NTP servers in there. The RedHat init script will run "ntpdate <server> <...>" from the contents of that file before it starts NTP.
If your clock is off by more than a few minutes NTP will refuse to start. That is why at boot the initscripts do the ntpdate from step-tickers
