A server is licensed by seats/users and that is for users that access FILE SHARES via
NETBIOS on that server
or that AUTHENTICATE against the domain/local SAM on that server.
A firewall enforcement server should do neither of these, so its not a "server" in
Microsoft sense.
Do you license your IIS server for 50 bazillion users because they all have connected
and retrieved a page?
