I have an article on using one Web Interface site with multiple XenApp farms.

http://carlwebster.com/using-one-citrix-web-interface-site-with-multiple-xenapp-farms-3/

You can do this to migrate users to the new 6.5 farm while they are still using 
the 4.0 farm.  It is totally transparent to your users.  As I show in the 
article, you can even have test users who are using both farms for TAT and UAT.

Did you get the 2 for 1 trade up on the XA/XD licenses?  A XenDesktop license 
gives you the right to use XenApp.  IMNSHO, Citrix does this to say we sold 
another 75 XenDesktop licenses today so we now have (Previous XD User Count) + 
75 XenDesktop users even though very few actually use XD.  Sorry, I don't know 
anything about pricing.

The next version of XenApp will use the same infrastructure as XenDesktop.  
IOW, IMA is going away.  IMA is the bottleneck in scalability of XenApp farms.  
That has been greatly improved with 6.5.  Even for 75 users, I would recommend 
a dedicated Zone Data Collector/XML Broker, a dedicated Web Interface server 
and three Session-host only servers.

Let me know if you need any additional info.

Thanks

Thx for the reply.

Currently 75 Citrix users on 3 PS4.0 servers +1 web interface server.
Typical published apps (Office, Adobe reader, IE, my docs)

I guess not technically migrating... the plan would be to create a new farm, 
and move users from old farm to new.
XenDesktop Enterprise - I was told that gives up XenApp for now and we will 
have the ability to move to xendesktop in the future.
IIRC, it was $72 more per user than XenApp Enterprise.

Is this correct?
