You should already have an idea of whether 3 servers are sufficient for your
peak concurrent connection time periods. There's no "rule of thumb" here,
it's totally dependent on hardware resources versus appload, and every app
is different.
You do not need the web interface. It is cool and has some nice features,
but if all your users are on the LAN/WAN... not required.
No prob having your licensing on the Citrix box. I prefer to have it
separate, because I like being able to lose any given App Server without
affecting the farm operations. So... if you have another place to put it,
it's a good idea architecturally, but certainly not necessary. There are no
significant load problems or any inherent restraint or incompatibility.
If all you need is load balancing, buy Standard, not Enterprise. Lots of
nice features in Enterprise, but they do cost. Also, unlike TSCALs, you
need only purchase a sufficient number of Client licenses to cover max
concurrent user levels. So... if you only have 100 users at any one time...
you only need 100 client licenses. (add your normal fat, tho)
goodluck,
Bob
