You're right, but I didn't want to go in to all the particulars, options and variations. Also, I tend to answer from the perspective of our setups here, and what few users have PCs versus winterms work the way I said, 'cause we don't do the content redirection.
I suppose I should clarify the second statement too. What I meant there is, if you allow users to get to the internet from their branch internet connection instead of forcing them through a tunnel to the home office and then to the internet, you need to provide the firewalling etc at the branches.

What launches from a Citrix session runs within that session on the server the user is connected to. Not to mention that if you provide local internet access at each location that is not piped back to your central location, you'll need perimeter security at each location (firewall, IPS, etc).

If I did put local internet at each location, I feel the users would be confused using Citrix for all other applications (email, documents, etc) then have to use their own local IE for internet. For example, if they were emailed a link in outlook... Wouldn't Citrix would want to use it's IE instead of the local desktop's IE? From: Andrew S. Baker [mailto:asbz...@gmail.com] Sent: Tuesday, January 25, 2011 3:55 PM To: NT System Admin Issues Subject: Re: Riverbed Steelhead What's the streaming internet video for? The benefits of putting a Riverbed or similar solution in place is that your bandwidth will be freed up from other traffic, so the traffic that the devices don't directly accelerate will still benefit from less contention on the wire. These solutions are not cheap, however. You might want to look into business broadband options at those locations as a potential option, since 1.5Mbit/s just isn't that much anymore in a rich internet environment.

I have 8 locations that all come back to my main site (all locations are being bumped up from fractional Ts to 1.5Mbps T1 circuits) There are no servers or internet access at any remote sites, and all applications are run on our Citrix 4.0 servers at the main site. Even with full T1 lines and citrix, these remote sites suffer from latency, especially internet browsing. I am wondering what is out there to help speed things up.
