Of course.. you can only have so many clients per TerminalServer given
the resources. Add as many TerminalServers as you need to serve your
thin clients.

Can't see that mysql could conflict with LDAP. They have nothing in
common other than that they serve data.
Personally I don't see a problem installing MySQL on Tjener.

Correct.

Check if the mousedriver is "ImPS/2" and not just "PS/2" in
/etc/X11/XF86-Config-4 (iirc)
