Well, as I understand it a little more, all machines will have this dll
locally on the them and legacy servers and user workstations will use the
dll locally. The dll will not be on a COM + server to control database
access to SQL Server so it's really not a multi user application. I'll
assume these remote machines will have some kind of VPN connection.

The question is moot now that I see a little more as to how this dll will be
implemented in the company.
