Hey Mark,
Yes it's a bit of an odd ball design request.
The driver behind this particular design is they need a 24x7 uptime and
have each site totally autonomous in the case of a WAN failure. But don't
want the hassle of having 27 separate farms to manage (understandable).

That seems like one ... unorthodox? ... architecture to me. Care to
clarify the details that are leading to this design? (Not saying it's wrong,
just saying I can't think of the real-world problem this solution is looking
for...)

*Subject:* [THIN] Citrix farms over a WAN
Guys/Gals,
I've been given a project to scope out a citrix farm design which consists
of 27 sites with 2 load balanced Citrix servers on each site. The client
needs it in this configuration for specific redundancy reasons (ie WAN
redundancy etc…)
Does any one know what the limitations on having a single farm span across
27 sites (limited bandwidth available as well).
I was planning on specifying a zone for each site, and disabling load
balancing across zones in MPS 4.
Any other pointers would be much appreciated.
Thanks,
