Why not just run ntpd on these other boxes, seems like a lot less effort.
You could broadcast NTP updates and use "broadcastclient", or just

They could peer with each other to keep in sync if they lose the master

It means the server myntp.mydomain.com isn't synced.

Run "ntpdc -c peer" to view the status (post the output if you like)
