I am hoping you can all give me a sanity check before i lose my mind.

I am about 95% done putting in a new farm spanning four domains, 6 networks,
and about 100 servers.  We have some consultants in helping and it has been
nice because I admit that there is a lot I don't know and their help has
been appreciated.

Zone preference and failover is not working like it should and the
consultants tell me it is because zone preference and failover only works
with the web interface and that it does not apply to full program
neighbrhood connections.  We are using a static ica file to connect users
(long story, just trust me, it's the best way for this situation) and zone
preference is being ignored.   I have always just split the farm design up
to match domain or geographic boundaries in the past but they convinced me
this would be the best way because zone preference would handle everything.
Then I get the "oops" by the way, zone preference and failover only works
with WI connections.

I'm not buying it and that's why I am throwing it out to the list.  I trust
you guys more than I do them.

Thanks!


Greg
