Not really. Do you have internet access during the testing? If so you can configure the NTP client to point to 6 different NTP servers. If you do *not* have internet access you may need to set up a virtual machine server like VMWare and create enough O/S's on that and then run ntpd on top of them. The results of this won't be great but it will work. Note that ntpd allows virtually unlimited number of servers to be specified and used so the real question is what are you testing? If you just want to assure that it can handle that many it can always be done on a system which does have internet access and specify explicit servers for it to use. Does that help?
