Tie NIC to user profile in Windows 2003 Enterprise

I've had a request from a user...


I have a Terminal Services server with 5 NIC's in it. 4 users connect
to the box via RDP. The users would like that when they login, they
are each assigned their own NIC, so their traffic is separate, and the
5th NIC would be used for their RDP sessions. Since they are doing
network administration this makes sense, but I have no idea if this is
possible in Windows 2003.

Anyone know:

a) Is this possible?
b) Any resources, tips, faq's, or Ouigi boards I can search for
assistance?

If you like to give them there own NIC with different ip's, maybe this is
a way.

A Terminal server normally is used for an special amount of users as a remote
"workstation", not more.

Why make this sense? With a dedicated user account you can track all changes
they do and assign the needed rights. But what kind of administration do
you talk about? Is the TS also domain controller, then multihoming of it,
is a NOT recommended solution?!?!?!

Technical, yes, 5 different ip's each on it's own NIC, every user can choose
a special ip for RDP, NOT the server name. Sense? I don't know.

Don't know, never have seen.
