Just out of interest - is it a single app -- or couple of apps - to a db
backend, or is it more of a desktop environment?

Sorry guys I cant really give out any more information because of the nature
of the project.
 
But all I can say is thay my inital WAN concerns are now addressed with this
kind of farm design. I found out last night they are all 2M links with a
100M wan link at the core datacenter, % utilization of the WAN looks very
low. Traffic is also shaped which will help.
 
I would have to admit though, doing this with Metaframe XP 1.0 would have
been near impossible, but when Citrix changed the way Zones can communicate
over multiple subnets (ie disabling LB across zones) its now a viable
option, Also using policies to control LB behavior within those zones is a
real bonus.

My biggest question about this design is "Where is the application data". Is
the data for these applications be replicated between all 27 of these sites.
I would get that question answered first then design Citrix around that.
