On servers where timestamps are crucial, you either

1) disable the feature to adjust the clock for daylight saving
or
2) install software that calculates GMT. You can hook up to services on
the net that do this.

Oh, and what you *don't* do is write client apps that pass the local
timestamp to the server.
