===8<==============Original message text===============

We have a similar situation going now for some time.  This is really a 
Client Server Application concept.  Citrix makes it kind of "thin" for 
the clients because the application runs in a chunk of memory at the 
server and not at the client.

We have a server with the Firebird 1.5.2 database and several 6+ 
Citrix servers hitting it.  We use a heavy Win32 client (written in 
Delphi, of course) that runs on the regular Citrix servers and 
provides the users with an application that hits the database hosted 
in the Server Citrix machine.  The database server is a 4 processor 
machine, using hyperthreading to look like 8 processors, and with some 
3.5 Gig of available RAM.

We started with Firebird running as SuperServer but quickly changed to 
Classic for the reasons mentioned by Helen, among others.

We have some 8-900 theoretical users with less than 300 simultaneous 
and have been able to handle the load so far.

Another good thing about this set up is you can scale OK (add more 
servers) if you need to.

Hope this helps.
