So is there no way I can say have a windows box connect to this server

where we are going with this as far as testing is concerned, they want
to be absolutely sure they have thought of everything - and asked me
to build this.

But the NTP server serves out GMT/UTC/UCT (whatever you call it, these
days), *it* doesn't change. Daylight savings, or not, your NTP server
clocks out the same time. It's the clients making use of it that change
their own behavior regarding DST. Whether that be the machine itself
(which works its own local time out, but the NTP server doesn't make use
of that), or external clients.
