I'd love to be able to rollout some sort of high availability setup
for my engineer's VNC sessions, so that I could move their sessions
and reboot the VNC servers, etc.  

I don't think I can do this, because of NFS mount points that user's
get into and which need updating, etc.  It's *really* hard from what I
can see to make a robust system where I don't have to reboot once in a
while.

I wish I could do it for VNC.  I guess I could build a Sun or Linux
cluster to do this... might even try.
