Some time ago, I asked a similar question (it included whether or not you
could/should combine Nfuse and RSA servers in the equation) and got a
helpful response from Rick Dehlinger at Citrix.  In the interests of sharing
the wealth, here's what he had to say at the time:

----
The STA(s) can run comfortably on any box that you are OK running IIS5 on.
This includes MetaFrame servers and/or ACE servers.

The NFuse and CSG servers 'could' run on the same box, but are a potential
security hole (compromise one and you compromise both resources).  If you
wanted to do this, dual home (or dual IP) the NFuse/CSG servers and set IIS
and CSG up to use different IP's.  That way you can use 443 end to end, and
have 2 services that use 443 on the same machine...

A perfect deployment would have 2 load balanced IIS5 NFuse servers, 2 load
balanced CSG boxes, and multiple internal STA's and ACE servers...

Hello All,

Is it necessary to run the STA on a separate server on can it be installed =
on a server in your Citrix Farm.  Thanks in advance.
