Hey Mark,

 

Yes it's a bit of an odd ball design request. 

 

The driver behind this particular design is they need a 24x7 uptime and
have each site totally autonomous in the case of a WAN failure. But
don't want the hassle of having 27 separate farms to manage
(understandable).

That seems like one ... unorthodox? ... architecture to me. Care to
clarify the details that are leading to this design? (Not saying it's
wrong, just saying I can't think of the real-world problem this solution
is looking for...)

        Guys/Gals,

         

        I've been given a project to scope out a citrix farm design
which consists of 27 sites with 2 load balanced Citrix servers on each
site. The client needs it in this configuration for specific redundancy
reasons (ie WAN redundancy etc...)

         

        Does any one know what the limitations on having a single farm
span across 27 sites (limited bandwidth available as well).

         

        I was planning on specifying a zone for each site, and disabling
load balancing across zones in MPS 4.

         

        Any other pointers would be much appreciated.

         

        Thanks,
