That’s only the case for Windows servers, isn’t it? UNIX machines can run arbitrary numbers of VNC servers from user land, if I remember correctly, although that’s not a VNC console of course.
For Windows servers I’d use RDP anyway. I have to admit, all of these solutions are ropey to some extent. We’ve now deployed Citrix NetScaler for remote access, and I have to admit it works pretty well. I can now access Linux desktops, Windows desktops, Headless windows servers through RDP, SSH sessions, internal web services, etc etc, from any device I own. Even some of our hard-core UNIX-heads have grudgingly admitted they quite like it. Of course, it ain’t cheap.
