I have some silos, one of which hosts a desktop, and some other which host some specialized applications.  When a user launches the desktop, it naturally sees the client's IP address.  When they launch an app from the desktop that resides in one of the other silos, the client NAME gets passed through OK, but the second server sees the desktop server's IP, rather than the client IP.  This is causing some issues with our IP-based policies.  Is there a way to pass the client's IP through?  We're using PNAgent on the desktop to provide the other applications.

Any and all suggestions would be welcome.

 

Thanks!

Why is it called "Common Sense"? It doesn't seem all that common!

Emil,

Thank you for your reply.

Unfortunately, I can not use a script, as I need the IP address to apply a Citrix policy (as per my previous post).  Therefore, the method you suggested won't work in my case.  I need the IP address to show up "naturally" (on its own) without any assistance from a script, unless there is a way to force the Citix policies to be re-applied after forcing in the updated IP address.
