Server load balancing is almost always the hosts responsibility. Even in the case of terminal severs, the host should ensure proper connections to the server.
When a client runs an application on a terminal computer the application execution takes place. The server uses the clients time zone resource.
A computer that is connected to a server is known as either a client or a terminal depending on what the end computer is capable of accomplishing without connection to the server.
A client cannot see what a server is doing; the only thing that can be monitored by the client is the data communication between the client and the server. If the client needs to see what is going on in the server then the client needs to connect to the server using remote desktop protocol, Terminal Services, telnet, or some other way to directly connect to the server.

Server computer main duty is the main storage of all the data of the client computers. Also, Server computer has the Main system that the client computers will be using.
It is not advisable to perform load balancing through a remote connection. For best results it is advisable to perform locally.
Yes, if you view it from the perspective that the X server is providing the display, rather than the client providing an application.
This one of the more confusing decisions in X-Windows. The argument is that the X Terminal provides graphical services in a similar way that a print server provides printing services. So "it makes sense" to call an X terminal a server.
Hi, In windows server 2003, by default you can use 3 client access licenses; however you can increase the number of licenses by adding the Terminal server in you network and purchase more licenses from Microsoft. Once you add the Terminal server role on the server, then simply add the Terminal Services Licensing from "Add remove windows component" With this way you can use more than three session at a time. Let me know if you have any questions. -Nitin
