[K12OSN] Bandwidth requirements

[Brian Chase]

However you may want the reduced operational expense of maintaining a 
clustered LTSP server, I think you'll find that when you run your total 
numbers together with WAN costs to your service provider, you'll find 
that this will far outweigh the operational costs of running separate 
LTSP servers at each site.

Bottom line is, keep X traffic off the WAN links, but that shouldn't 
stop you from authenticating from one central authentication server.
