Yeah. NLB is a waste if you have XPe. NLB's algorithm is very network
centric and not even close's to Citrix's. You can publish apps from on a
citrix box and make them available right that second and load blanaced
across all three servers.=20

Oh lord no... he took you for a ride.  XPe has it's own load balancing
scheme.  NLB is not very beneficial in a Citrix XPe deployment.
