No, physical machines.

I will try that.

No they are not reacable over a VPN. They are routed through the network
(quite complicated; but there is no WAN part inbetween).

I dont know much about the windows servers. The customer told me i can
use them for time synchronization - so i did it because the network i
highly protected from the outside lan.

This is from the solaris box:

ntpq> version
ntpq 3-5.93e Mon Sep 20 15:45:42 PDT 1999 (1)

(it is a Solaris 10)


ntpq> peer
      remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset 
    disp
==============================================================================
#windows-dc-serverA  10.x.v.1  4 u  215 1024  377     0.31    0.888    3.42
+windows-dc-serverB  10.x.v.1  4 u  509 1024  377     0.44   -1.445    2.61


Both windows server seem to get ther ntp data from the host 10.x.v.1.
