Yes this is typical. Office mode will allow the client to connect even if they are on the same subnet as your internal enc domain, catch here is that while they are connected they will not be able to access anything on their local lan.

The Citrix client is configured with the private IP addresses (172.16.x.x) of these servers and it everything is working just fine but I just need to make sure this configuration is best practice. At one time I had them setup to hide behind public IP addresses and then configured the Citrix client to point to the public IP addresses. After doing some testing I realized the Citrix client could connect using the private IP address assigned to the servers and didn't need to use the public IP addresses. I have a group setup that I add servers to that need to be accessed through the VPN client and have the rule setup to use that group. Is this the typical way of setting up access to internal servers through the SecureClient VPN? What concerns me is what would happen if the client is on a network that is using the same private IP address range.
