To me, this is the textbook perfect reason to use NFuse/WI or PNAgent. :-)
Of course I understand that this is not your case and that you're using MF
1.8.
As you mention, adding the servers to the current farm would be the easiest
in terms of a seamless experience for the users. However, with MF 1.8,
you'll have to set up an ICA gateway, etc, etc.. How do your users
currently get their application lists? If it's via UDP broadcasts, you're
kind of stuck if your new farm is on a different subnet--in this case you'll
need to update each user's pn.ini file. If, by chance, you clients are
looking for the "ica" DNS entry (the default for http+tcp server locations),
then you can just modify your DNS tables..
Bottom line, though, is that you'll probably have to modify the INI files of
your clients.

Subject: [THIN] Adding servers in another location
Hello
We are setting up three additional servers to add to an existing farm that
is currently in another location. The plan is to turn off those servers and
run with these.SEAMLESSLY! So my thought is that we have to add these new
servers to that farm. Or is it ok to just create a new farm? Again, we
want this to be seamless to the users on Monday.
Here's some more info:
Citrix MF 1.8 SP4 on W2k SP3. Our users connect to full desktops using PN
setup with DNS (citrix.onedomain.com).
Any help, suggestions or pointers are greatly appreciated.
Thanks
Mario
