Both these cases you want to sync up CLOCK_MONOTONIC, using walltime is
just utterly misguided.

What happens if the servers have (per accident or otherwise) different
DST settings, or someone does a clock_setttime() for giggles.

All you really want is a clock that runs at the same rate but is not
subject to random jumps and user foibles.
