We are recently experiencing a large number (15-20 times a day) of random 
dropped sessions from our remote site to our MPS 3.0 Windows 2003 servers. 
We are using Sun Ray thin clients and we have session reliability enabled 
and the Unix clients screen does not stay up (not sure if that is a Solaris 
limitation) but it does automatically reconnect. My first quiestion is 
having session reliability enabled worth it if the screen does stay and and 
they only get the "reconnect" button screen using the Sun Ray thin clients? 
What are the best practices when configuring these Citrix servers for WAN on 
Windows 2003? Would adjusting session reliability help? It is set to the 
default of 180 seconds but it will attemp to reconnect for only 30 seconds? 
What am I missing? I have only found Citrix XP best practices for 
"TCPMaxDataRetransmissions", "ICAKeeepAlive", TCPkeepalive?
