I'm hoping to continue soon with transitioning from 10.04 to 12.04 also. I'm using 10.04 fat clients and am happy. I am working to use ltsp-pnp and am wondering how/if that works with 2 NIC's since the recommended/described setup is with 1 NIC running a DNS. I'm working in a windows network and am required to make my Ubuntu labs on an isolated sub-net. Any recommendations on this aspect?
