I do this all the time and it works great.

Being able to avoid having to maintain a separate copy of the software on each 
station is worth almost *whatever* you have to do to make it happen.

In my case, the app is dependent on a PostgreSQL database on the server so if 
the server or network is down they're hosed anyway.
