I can see where MF1.8 in 5 subnets would give you this problem. It would
help to know:
1) How is your ICA browsing set up?
2) Is your ICA browsing working correctly? Run "query server" on each of the
20 servers and
    make sure each one sees all the others.
3) How do your clients discover the farm/published apps? By broadcasting?
Have you hard-coded a master
    browser into the clients?

Where I used to work, I constructed a hierarchical ICA browsing scheme like
this:
Configure one (preferably dedicated) master browser in each subnet.
In a subnet with NO Citrix servers, configure one dedicated master-master
browser that
    speaks with all the others.
Hard code the clients to search for the farm/published apps via the
master-master browser.
If the Citrix servers have more than one NIC, disable all but one.

Good luck

  Subject: [THIN] sessions not reconnecting.


  Hi All,



  I am trying to figure out what could be the reason why some sessions will
not reconnect but instead just create a new session on another server.



  I have 20 servers (MF1.8, NT4) and they are in 5 different subnets; they
all provide the same published application which is load balanced across all
20 servers.  Our wireless users are having problems when they loose
connection (walk in an elevator for example) when they try to reconnect they
just get a new session instead.



  I do know:

  It does not happen always, I?d say 75% of the time the reconnect as they
should.

  When it happens, they always connect to a different server and the server
they were previously on has a disc session listed.



  Thank you for any insight.
