ntp is the right way to do things.  You could set each server as an  
ntp peer of the other.  That way.  And, as others pointed out, you  
could have one of them use an external lower stratum (closer to  
reference servers) to sync properly with the rest of the world which  
is useful if you want your logs to match up properly with the rest of  
us.
