I assume you want to compare how the NTP implementations "appear" to the rest of the local network. If so, the 3rd PC would really need a GPS-disciplined clock to be considered a reliable "witness". Even then, the variations in network conditions the servers would experience could be problematic, even if they are configured with the same upstream reference servers. And of course, you would want to flip-flop the two machines halfway through the experiment to be sure the NTP implementation, and not the differing hardware, is the source of any observerd differences. To really do it "right" would require a lot of laboratory equipment, or so I am guessing.
