Yes, it is a good way of running a client-server app designed with LAN
bandwidth and latency in mind over a slower WAN. From a Firebird
perspective, using a local or embedded connection won't work but TCP
connections (via hostname or IP) work fine. Or at least that was the
case with 1.5, may have been fixed since.

There are other considerations like printing, CALs (+$) and firewall
considerations, but we have been delivering our application almost
solely over terminal services for about 4 years.
