Under what conditions? I've never had a problem with NAT & Citrix. It's
always worked transparently whether the server was WinFrame, MetaFrame
or even MS Terminal Server. No special config on the client or the
server to deal with address translation through a firewall.

Done this a few times as well. In fact I have a client using the Web
plug-in to offer application out-sourcing over the Internet. The servers
are on a privately addressed subnet behind a firewall. No special config
was required on either the servers or the ICA file launched by the Web
client. The only problem with the Web client that I've run into is
getting Netscape to recognize it as a plug-in.

Cheers,
