i haven't had my coffee yet and I am still a little slow, but how do you "indirectly" access a terminal server?

I keep waiting for them to license anyone who "thinks" about connecting.

Microsoft licensing policies for Windows Server Terminal Services, including the new components that are included in Windows Server 2008, require that in addition to a Windows Server Client Access License (CAL), Microsoft® Core CAL Suite, or Microsoft Enterprise CAL Suite, you must acquire a Windows Server 2008 TS CAL for each user or device that directly or indirectly accesses the server software to interact with a remote graphical user interface (using the Windows Server 2008 Terminal Services functionality or other technology).
