I take it that they do not allow running persistent applications? I personally would not like to find my screen/tmux session "disappear" after reconnect because I ended to another host.

My University did something that seems similar. There was a group hostname which I believe dropped you into one of a group of linux machines(with nfs homedir) but you cold always specify the actual hostname of the computer where you parked tmux.
