Sorry guys I cant really give out any more information because of the nature of 
the project.
 
But all I can say is thay my inital WAN concerns are now addressed with this 
kind of farm design. I found out last night they are all 2M links with a 100M 
wan link at the core datacenter, % utilization of the WAN looks very low. 
Traffic is also shaped which will help.
 
I would have to admit though, doing this with Metaframe XP 1.0 would have been 
near impossible, but when Citrix changed the way Zones can communicate over 
multiple subnets (ie disabling LB across zones) its now a viable option, Also 
using policies to control LB behavior within those zones is a real bonus.

My biggest question about this design is "Where is the application data". Is 
the data for these applications be replicated between all 27 of these sites. I 
would get that question answered first then design Citrix around that.
