This idea is on the table, but since we don't use DFS yet, and as Ron
pointed out, we are not sure yet how much control we can exert of what's
replicated. Thanks for the answer.

        Use Microsoft DFS with AD Sites and set the sites to include the
local IP segments, sessions within the site will be directed to the
local DFS replica based on the IP address of the Citrix server and
fail-over to the remote DFS replica only if the local is not available.

                Hi 

                I have a scenario which I'd love comments on as someone
on the list must have similar infrastructure. Windows 2000 AD, all in
one domain, mostly Citrix XPe FR2.

                Say we have two Citrix servers, one in London and one in
New York. I work in London and my terminal server home directory in AD
is set to a share in London. I want to access apps in both London and
New York. But when I access an app in New York my TS home directory
points to London and the performance of the app sucks, especially if the
app uses the TS home dir for ini files, etc.

                What is the experience of other admins out there? The
example above is compounded by servers and users being in other
locations throughout the world, Houston, Algeria, Kuala Lumpur, etc. and
all users may need to access any or all servers.

                Thanks 

                Russell
