Well, actually, I'd recommend the exact opposite in many cases. It's a good thing to centralize time management wherever possible, and you're typically going to have a single database server servicing one or more application servers. Ideally, all of the servers should use the same NTP server, but even so having a single time source in your application is a good thing.
