Load Balance a Citrix Farm

[jphilope]

Been approached by our server team. They are having issues with DNS load distibution (won't call it balancing as there's no logic to it) with a 10 server Citrix Farm. It seems to me this would be a good candidate for L3 loadbalancing on a CSS 11500 series.

Anyone have any experience or things I need to consider?

Thanks in advance.

Check that traffic volumes and patterns are the ones that you have dimensioned the circuits for.

For basic css load balancing configuration kindly refer the following url,
