I've never had problems with number of VNC sessions (up to 30 anyway); you're limited to 100 if you stick to the conventional port numbering. Assuming I'm carrying 100 user sessions on one gigabit network card, I'd just stick a second network card into the machine for the next 100. You can then get crude load balancing using round-robin DNS entries. > Are there any other smart solutions for that problems? I find that people generally only use VNC for light, casual work where the remote system is secondary to the workstation's local OS. Once people use the VNC heavily, the speed limitations are obvious and they migrate either to LTSP (no install) or CygWin (an install). My personal point of view is that LTSP and VNC together dramatically reduce the number of machines on which the SysAdmin needs to install and maintain high avail CygWin and/or local dual boot configurations. http://www.ltsp.org/contrib/ltspvnc.html ------------------------------------------------------- This SF.NET email is sponsored by: FREE SSL Guide from Thawte are you planning your Web Server Security?
