I'm not thinking to set the session to a specific IP address, but actually to the virtual NIC such as eth1:1 or eth1:25, etc. I would think that setting the NIC to use might be easier than assigning an IP. But I don't really know, just thinking. > Local Apps may be an answer, but I think the Virtual IP should be doable as > well.

I don't think that Citrix messes with Windows, but Windows also has the option to assign multiple IPs to a single NIC, maybe they figured out how to use that feature. I plan on running my local apps on a 800Mhz client with 512MB Ram. I figure that will be sufficient. But PII with 128MB, probably not as nice. But remember, the client won't have to run the entire desktop and such to run the app, only the app. So I would bet this will allow an app such as firefox to run better on smaller hardware than one might originally think.
