Hi
-By default in domain environment all workstations sync their time with their local site DC. All DCs sync their time with the PDCe for their domain. All PDCes sync their time with the PDCe at the Root Domain.

-To answer your question; assuming that the DCs are in the same site as the DCs, they should be able to sync their time with the DCs in that site. You only need to mess with ISA server if internal connections (between workstations and DCs) are locked.

I hope that the information above helps you.
Have a Nice day.
