9.2.2.2 says xen just passed the time-related calls to Dom0, but that can't be the case because the times are different.

That is because if you do run ntpd inside the VM, this can create the problem.

noselect?  inside the VM?

Yes on the guest system, and run ntpd normally on the Dom0.

We are running on a Sun SunFire X4150.
What I stated was on a Dell 2950 PowerEdge, but I shall get hold of a SunFire and repeat the test, see if I get the same issue. It does state that there might be some kernel parameters that need tweaking, but, I am curious to find out what's going on, as we will be using SunFire kit with Xen soon.

To recap, we use the 'noselect' keyword to avoid the running ntpd on the client to attempt to sync with the defined servers and ntpq does not report any disturbing drifts on the client...and we do run ntpd normally (no 'noselect') on Dom0.

What happens (happened if you have already tried) if you try and do this? And what's your hardware platform?
