Hi Yes, we have 10 servers per site. All servers in 1 zone due to the fact we have gig links. Good idea... I may look at using 1 physical server per site as ZDC. Will look at limiting connections to perhaps 20 users to ensure they are not starved.. What are the implications from a ZDC perspective if the servers are busy whilst requests are coming thru? Will Citrix connections be slower?
