I am a K12 Tech Director in Illinois who is considering installing a
K12LTSP lab in our high school.  My preliminary tests have all been
positive.  I do need to run Microsoft Office, so I will need a second
server running Win 2000 Advanced Server and Terminal Services.  I have
successfully installed RDesktop and connected to Win Term Services and
everything is fine.  
 
My question/concern - actually, not really my concern but the concern of
other individual in my department - is that when we connect 24 computers
in a lab to a single boot/access point, it will be too slow.  
 
Can I help speed issues by placing 4 nics in the server (we will buy new
servers for this) with one of the nics accessing the rest of our network
while the three other nics connect three different segments of the lab.
Is it possible to have 8 computers "wired" to each of these nics to
balance the load on the network?  Is anyone doing something like this?
 
Thank you for any info you can provide.
