Hi Larry,

Thanks for your response. I did read that thread prior to posting - it contains a wealth of knowledge. I guess it's good to know that it is possible but using method 2 where the LB is used for the initial connection then all subsequent traffic goes direct to the UAGs.

If that is really the case then that's a shame with HAProxy. It's interesting that the LB product developed by loadbalancer.org seems to support UDP even though it's purportedly built on HAProxy (http://pdfs.loadbalancer.org/Vmware_Horizon_Deployment_Guide.pdf ) Perhaps they've incorporated bits of IPVS which does layer 4 load-balancing into their product.

It also seems a little strange that I can't build a connection using the Horizon Client after authenticating. i.e. I don't get a list of entitled desktops. I wouldn't have thought this would be using UDP.

As for which protocols I am using, I was hoping to use both Blast and PCoIP. This means a largely seamless experience for both internal and external users with no need to dictate which protocol gets used depending on where they're connecting from. They just fire up the Horizon View client and connect (obviously assuming the FQDN is the same both internally and externally).

I'll try method 2 and let you know how I get on.

Thanks,

Kam
