Clients are not connecting to the DB. Only to the server application,
which is the only one maintaining data. This is because data in the
DB is encrypted.
So, unless someone uses isql or some other tool, in this design there
should be only one connection to the DB.
However, I will change the string to use hostname.
Thanks!
