Quickbooks Desktop 2017 Premier - Multi User Mode on one computer

Hello,

 

Would there be any problem with running QB Desktop 2017 Premier in the following manner?

 

On one computer only, run Quickbooks Database Server Manager. No user on this computer would have "Hosting Multi-User Access" turned on. To access QB, each user opens the QB company file via a share with URI 127.0.0.1. At least one user is able to open the company file this way and also turn on mutliuser mode, without needing to turn on Hosting Multi-User Access.

Any thoughts about this? Is this potentially dangerous? It seems like this would be the QB hosting mode known as "Dedicated Hosting," but with the addition that users on that same host can use QB.
