I think your worrying about nothing. Now look at it from the clients
side.

Gee, this application uses Firebird, I have a working firebird server
that gets backed up every night, why does the #$@!^% application, not
allow me to add the database to my server, and access it from there.

The only clients that will worry about this stuff, are the ones that are
smart enough to want to do it, or have a good reason to.

So, why do you want to add a unneeded restriction to the user?
