Yes it is possible. We have the same setup  and wanted failover. Months
ago I imported my DNS print name into the farm and everything runs fine.

Subject: [THIN] Backup printserver/Importing printserver with DNS name

Hello!

Is it possible to import a Windows printserver with its DNS name into a 
MFXP server farm? We would like to do this because we want to setup a 
failover solution for this printserver in case of hardware failure. So
far, 
I only succeeded in importing this printserver via Netbios name or IP 
address, but if I use the DNS name, I get an error c0130001/c0130003
("The 
specified Network Print Server could not be contacted").

Is there another failover solution for printservers in a Citrix
environment 
(besides Windows clustering or a standby machine which will take over
the 
production server's Netbios name)?


Application servers: MFXP 1.0 FR3 on Windows 2000 SP3
Printserver Windows 2000 SP3 (no Metaframe installed)
