[THIN] Re: Default Server Location

Could I steal the IP addresses from the 1.8 servers (3 total) and use it for 
some of the XP servers and give the 1.8 server
temporary IP addresses until I turn them off?...  I would of course update the 
DNS entries to reflect the change...  That way
when I'm in "mixed mode", the Default Server Location IP addresses will point 
to the XP servers and I won't have to touch the
clients when I switch over to "native mode".

We have 12 total Citrix servers (3 - 1.8 servers, 9 - XP servers) and 1800+ ICA 
clients.  It would be a whole lot easier making
the change at the server level if possible.

Thanks for all the help,
Derek
