The master ICA Browser selects one of the servers based on load and returns the
address of that server to the ICA Client.
You can tune how load balancing support calculates server load for each server in
a load balancing server farm using the Load Balancing Administration utility. For

In order to publish videos, you must install Citrix VideoFrame on your network.
Viewing a published video requires the same published application connection
procedure used by standard published applications. When a user connects to a
published video, the ICA Client connects to a MetaFrame server configured to run
the video, determines the location of the video, and then launches the Windows
Media Player, which plays the video from the VideoFrame server.
Playing videos requires the Citrix ICA Client for Win32 (Program
Neighborhood) and Microsoft Windows Media Player.

You can publish and manage applications using one of two management scopes:
server farms or the Windows NT domains.
In order to take advantage of the features of Program Neighborhood
and the administrative organization of the server farm, you must publish and
manage your applications using the server farms management scope.
Use the Windows NT domains scope only if you:
u
Cannot add your servers to a server farm
u
Need to maintain applications that were both published prior to installation of
MetaFrame 1.8 and cannot be migrated into a server farm
