All,
I found that: http://www.greyware.com/kb/kb2012.717.asp
One of my internal NTP servers has the leap flag set to 01. The fake leap second issue was produced in the servers where this NTP server is the time source preferred, so I guess that it was my problem.
In order to check the leap flag I used ntpq.
First I checked what is the preferred NTP server with the "peers" command.
After that I ran the "associations" command in order to obtain the assids of the NTP servers. When I had the assids, I check the status of the NTP servers using the "pstatus" command (usage: pstatus ASSISD_NUMBER). In the "pstatus" output I saw that the "leap" flag is set to 01.
