Thanks but is it worth the effort? My thinking is that LTM can be used to replace the Citrix load balancing. Did that?

I believe the first question is quite circumstantial. I would say definitely worth it if you're trying to consolidate edge features, since F5 can provide other non-citrix resources also on the Webtops. Not to mention providing SSL-VPN (if required for say, your admins). You can replace the broker load balancing, I believe they still have to manage the workers (since it is a Brokers role).
