Horizon Client to UAG Keep Alive - Resiliency To Network Path Changes

We have a standard two router two ISP BGP peering arrangement at our edge. About half

of our users connect to their virtual desktop using Horizon client and connecting to the

UAG from various spots on the internet. Two for the second time we had one of the

BGP peers go do. When that happened all of the Horizon connections to the UAG

failed. The screen froze and eventually you were just out.

If you tried again just moment later most of us could get back in There is a side

issue that a number of users go the "Too many active connections" message.

I'll ask about that at the end. But my main question is:

Is there anything that can be done to make Horizon Blast connections to the UAG

more resilient to a partial outage such as I described? Other applications say no

drop at all - our web presence, over a hundred DMVPN spoke sites, vertical

applications, connections to the cloud. No other complaints or anything seen

in monitoring except these Horizon-UAG disconnects. Your thoughts are

appreciated!

Also if you have any thought about avoiding the Too many active connections

message when a bunch of clients get dumped for something like this

that would be interesting too.

Thanks.
