My organization is trying to limit ODBC connections attaching to the main DB
from satellite sites to 1 per site. They are proposing that users (about 30)
needing to query the DB use terminal services on a server with the
appropriate ODBC driver installed and do their queries.

Is there a way to:
1. "share" an ODBC driver on the central server that workstations can point
to and appear as 1 ip address?

2. Use a proxy configuration with the odbc driver one one side and clients
connecting on the other? letting the proxy server handle connection.

3. Do a really cool suggestion that you have. (that I haven't thought of)

4. or do I just capitulate and make everyone learn how to use terminal
services and suffer the slings and arrows of complaints and slow performance?
