I would strongly advise not doing this, and instead running an
ntpd. That goes for both Xen and non-Xen machines.
Not only can ntpdate cause the clock to step backwards, but if one
of the servers you list had its clock set wildly wrong then yours
would get set wildly wrong too if it ever ran ntpdate against it.

In theory a domU is supposed to keep its clock locked to that of the
dom0, so one only needs to run ntpd in dom0.
However I have never found that to be reliable so have had to set
/proc/sys/xen/independent_wallclock to 1 and run ntpd in every domU
also.
Cheers,
Andy
