Hi Brad:

Both ToolsUI and IDV come as jar files, you dont need webstart. Both 
applications can access the data on your thredds server without using the 
viewer links on the HTML interface.

As for viewer links, you could maintain your own webstart repository for those 
apps, and add custom viewers:

your users could just ignore the default ones. We dont currently have a way to 
modify those.
