Thanks for the response.
The new servers will be running new applications that will not be installed on
the other servers for political and technical reasons that need not be
discussed. :)
We have sort of ruined our 1.6 implementation as we have customized it for our
environment. We stole portions of Columbia and added additional functionality
suited for our needs specifically. So, maybe a migration to 1.8 beta would fit
for us. I'll have to do more research.
On a related, but different, note, what are some recommendations for securing
the Citrix servers if they are connected to the Internet? Where do you place
them in the environment so they are secure, but still functional with access to
internal services, for instance Exchange?
Just looking for some best practices type of information.
Thanks again!

Your best bet is to install the new XP servers in their own farm. The
mixed mode Citrix offers is only for a transition period and then it is
still clunky at best.
IF the new servers are hosting new applications you can use NFuse 1.6
with Columbia (or the 1.8 beta) to present Icons from both farms in one
NFuse interface.=20
IF the servers are hosting the same applications I would get the two new
server ready and tested, start shifting users to them (possibly still
via Columbia) then once the user load is reduced on the existing 1.8
boxes begin rebuilding them as XP servers in the new farm.

I currently have a 3 server NT 4.0 TSE with MF 1.8 farm with load
balancing using NFUSE 1.6 to access. I have a need to add two
additional servers to the farm, but would like them to be W2K with XPa.
Can I bring the XPa servers into the 1.8 farm without issues or what
issues can I expect to see? =20
Would I be able to access the applications on XPa through the NFUSE 1.6
web site, with the XML service still on the 1.8 server? =20
Would the W2K installation cause issues with the NT 4.0 servers?
Thanks in advance for your assistance!
