Also the X or SSH+X traffic would flow thru both the thin client
network, the booting ltsp server, the main network to the X server ltsp
server.

Adding latency and jitter all the way. and beeing prone to the spiky
nature of the main network (10.0.2.0/24)

I do not feel this behavious is suited as the default on the default
network architecture we use today.

if there was multiple ltsp servers on a given 192.168.0.0/24 network
then it would be a sensible default for that given network to share the
load, but not with machines on other thinclient networks.

Adding the script, and config but having it commented out. and
documented how to enable, and how to adapt your network would be a good
idea tho (for squeeze)
