First I have rebooted with a new kernel 2.6.14 that have the patch 
pointed out by Dean Gaudet, this don't change the problem.

On the machine with 2.6.14:

talla:~# uname -a
Linux talla 2.6.14-1 #2 PREEMPT Thu Nov 3 00:54:44 CET 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
talla:~# ntpdate -uq 10.0.0.1
server 10.0.0.1, stratum 3, offset -14.893095, delay 0.02644

-14.893095 sec
talla:~# ntpdate -uq 129.132.2.21

On the others machines using the same server:

craie:~# uname -a
Linux craie 2.4.27-pre2-7-k7 #1 lun mai 17 00:08:15 CEST 2004 i686 GNU/Linux
craie:~# ntpdate -uq 10.0.0.1
server 10.0.0.1, stratum 3, offset 0.000046, delay 0.02641
  3 Nov 01:31:38 ntpdate[16783]: adjust time server 10.0.0.1 offset 
0.000046 sec
craie:~# ntpdate -uq 129.132.2.21
server 129.132.2.21, stratum 2, offset -0.013689, delay 0.04294
  3 Nov 01:31:39 ntpdate[16786]: adjust time server 129.132.2.21 offset 
-0.013689 sec

citron:~# uname -a
Linux citron 2.6.12-nfs-1 #1 Fri Jun 24 18:23:39 CEST 2005 i686 GNU/Linux
citron:~# ntpdate -uq 10.0.0.1
server 10.0.0.1, stratum 3, offset 0.003676, delay 0.02647
  3 Nov 01:32:06 ntpdate[13476]: adjust time server 10.0.0.1 offset 
0.003676 sec
citron:~# ntpdate -uq 129.132.2.21
server 129.132.2.21, stratum 2, offset -0.010485, delay 0.04341
  3 Nov 01:32:11 ntpdate[13477]: adjust time server 129.132.2.21 offset 
-0.010485 sec

So this could to be something after the 2.6.12. All machines run the 
same version of ntpd and use the same configuration file.
