If anybody has any good load-balancing tips for my situation, I'd
love to hear them. I'm running SRSS 4.1 and srwc 2.1, I have not yet
updated to the latest release. I love my SunRays, but if this
continues to be a problem, I'll have to scrap them and go back to
maintaining 24 PCs again. I want to avoid this at all cost.
Thanks.

Although not very experienced with Sun Ray infrastructures as I only
have one at home, in a standard network topology after the baselining
has been completed and you know where your blockages are if any the best
thing to increase bandwidth is usually to add more NICs to the
infrastructure. If say your server has 4 NICs you may want to add 2 to
the Ray interconnect since you are using a dedicated interconnect or
another link to the MS server.
I'm not sure if having a failover group with the Rays will actually
distribute load between both servers and hence both NICs - best wait for
a more experienced persons response to that one but if it does that
might be another option.
Another alternative would be to add a 10GigE link between both servers
if that's where the bottleneck is if things are really bad.
Of course my suggestion will work on a hardware basis, I'm not sure if
there's a way to tune the software to actually use less bandwidth but
usually you would be looking at an asynchronous topology were the server
to interconnect or LAN bandwidth is higher then the switch port speed;
in your case 1Gbps it seems.
Do the baselining first though then according to your results you can
rethink or post them back here and get more advice :-)
