Good Morning Dave,
Well for me anyway, not morning for you. You can use 1 nic only. The load
balancing in Citrix is different in than in NLB, when you connect to a farm
the load of each server is determined and you are directed to the server
with the least load. Each server has it's own IP address there is no need to
have the "phantom" address as with NLB.
HTH,
Jeff
