Bob - digging into this a little more and you say below that you like to have
your license server separate. What are all of the components that can be
separate and which need to stay on the Citrix server(s)?

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

are looking at implementing a Presentation Server 4.0 farm from scratch, new,
never used it. We've always used RDP but there are some features that Citrix
offers that we'd like to make use of. User base is about 400-500 but just one
site, no remote sites.
We are thinking of a three server farm with load balancing. We have a variety
of applications that range from home-grown to Office apps.
I'd also like to get some input on if it's ok for the license server to be on
one of the Citrix boxes itself or should it reside elsewhere. Same question for
the web interface and can you still publish applications without the use of the
web interface?
Sorry for all the questions.
