Or maybe I misread what you typed.  Do you mean you want to use DHCP  
to configure the IP address of the gumstix, and then have the gumstix  
get information from the network about what NTP server to use?  If  
so, then there is a DHCP option for that.  In your server's  
dhcpd.conf, add this:


option ntp-servers pool.ntp.org;

You can have a list there if you want to instead of a single host.   
List elements are separated by commas.  The list will show up on the  
gumstix in /usr/share/udhcpc/default.script as $ntpsrv -- see the  
file /path/to/buildroot/build_arm_nofpu/busybox*/networking/udhcp/ 
README.udhcpc for details
