Why not simply configure the NTP servers automatically from DHCP?

On the server side, just set this option:

  option ntp-servers time1.local, time2.foobar.com, 1.2.3.4;

On the client side, dhclient can invoke hook scripts, passing them the
information received from the server. Fedora probably has a reasonable
script to do this. If not, write your own.
