[K12OSN] Remote Accounts

I am wondering if there is a way that all user accounts on the K12LTSP can
come from a remote server?  It would be nice to have one centralized
account system.  Here is the setup I am envisioning (almost all
complete now): 

Internet 
| 
| 
| 
External WAN 
      DHCP/Proxy/Filter (ubuntu) 
|Internal LANs - - - - - -K12LTSP server - - - - Some LTSP
clients 
| 
| 
Internal LAN 
    Email/LDAP/Web server (SME 7) 
External
WAN 
| 
| 
| 
Internet 

I want the SME server to be what keeps the accounts.  I want
all accounts for LTSP clients to come from the SME also.  That way,
users only need to change one password and administrator only needs to
create one account.  The SME server is easy to enable LDAP.  I
think I can configure the firewall in the DHCP server to allow the two
vlans to communicate.  So it is a matter of setting up the K12 server
to allow this to happen. 

Is this possible and how?
