Currently, the clients do not have access to perl. If you can wait another month or so, you can use what Scott Balneaves has been working on for LTSP-4.0. He's setup an optional LDAP database configuration. With that is a mechanism to replace the LDAP back-end with any other back-end, including a Postgress or mysql server. The database queries take place on the server, not on the workstation, so it is conceivable that you could put hooks in to query a MS SQL database, providing you have the database drivers.
