I did have someone from our campus contact an Apple representative
before I wrote the OSX module. Here are the conditions, as I understand
them.
1. Must be on Apple hardware. No way around this one.
2a) For Apple Snow Leopard (Server) you must have a license for each
instance.
2b) For Apple Lion (Client or Server) you can have 3 instances per
license per machine. (one real + 2 virtual, or 3 virtual)
3) The other OSX versions cannot be virtualized.
I based my work on Apple Snow Leopard(Server). I didn't have a copy
of Lion available as it hadn't been released yet.
I suspect the scripts I wrote for things like firewall control are
SL specific, and may have to be modified for Lion.
Just a bit of info, VMware 5 now supports SL Server as an operating
system type(Apple hardware).
Maybe this link will be helpful.

Btw, 'time-sharing' really isn't an issue with iRAPP RDP server. It
runs on the console, and only one person at a time can be on the
console.
Hope this helps,
