I have run them on the same host without problems. The ntpd is allowed 
to change the system time and it is synced both with external source and 
local clock. The timed is used only for time delivery because it is fixed
to local system and it is modified not to change the system time. All
other hosts are just fixed ntp or timed clients which get their time from
this particular server.
