It seems clear that for his application correct time is not very
important at all. It is close synchronization of the cluster members
that matters. This is really a different problem than the one NTP is
aimed at, though it obviously can be used to solve it. I can imagine
protocols that would enable a cluster of peers to converge to a common
time, but a (very) brief search doesn't turn up much. This probably
means that I just don't know the right search terms.
