These are internals apps, so they won't be accessed by the public, or over a public Internet (well, perhaps over VPN). And being a government agency, we can get certs for free from another agency. > Why do you want to separate the web front end? Load balancing by our hardware Cisco ACE appliance. Also it then enables use to send the session to any available session host. Separating out the web front end from the back end RDSH servers (aka the server farm) is also the current configuration we have with our Citrix environment, and is I believe the recommended design for something like this. (I am told). What we want, or will have, is 2 web front ends and 3-4 back end session hosts. > > James. > > -----Original Message----- > From: Michael Leone [mailto:[email protected]] > Sent: Thursday, 21 March 2013 4:40 AM > To: NT System Admin Issues > Subject: Re: Advice on setting up a Win2012 RDS environment - Progress! > > SO I am making progress!
