There was a discussion going on if we should install one KMS for our whole university. We have about 40,000 students and the University buildings are spread out all over the city. Everyone can step in those buildings. So this KMS would probably be a big Windows Vista activation center for the whole city. So my first thought was this is simply impossible. But on second thought, why not? I think, we’ll have such “public Vista activation centers� soon everywhere because public institutions can’t often control who has access to their networks. Microsoft should find a better solution soon. Securing a KMS host with IPsec is too complicated.

I would agree with your point about breaking your back to protect the licenses. If Microsoft didn't provide a tool to make it practical, then they've expressed the amount of importance they put on the 'problem'. Do keep us all informed on what direction you go in.
