CSG and Web Interface virtualize fine. We had issues with NLB so are using a load balancing virtual appliance.

NLB works - http://support.citrix.com/article/ctx108812 discusses setting up for WI - but I was always under the impression NLB can be flaky with some switches. Don't forget that the NLB has no awareness of the availability of the backend service - if you need a highly available solution look at getting netscalers in.

Were looking to use w2k3 NLB as well with both WI and CSG, anyone aware of any issue with doing that, assuming both are ok to Virtualise in the first place ? Thanks Andy
