Load balance internal / external users of a pub app to diff servers

Paper on Grouping for External / Internal users to access different app servers in the same zone.

Hello Group,
I need your help with this scenario.
Scenario:
We have Internal and External users using specific apps. (e.g OUTLOOK2003). Now we have 5 servers hosting the app. However if external users access the published app, we want to loadbalance them out to SVR1 and SVR2, but if internal users access the same app, they will be load balanced out to SVR3, SVR4 and SVR5.

In Citrix PS4.0, is there an option to do this? Currently the only thing that comes to my mind is to create 2 published apps (for each app), one for external and one for internal users.

PLEASE HELP!!
Thank you and best regards!

you can create 2 groups in your domain (Citrix-Internal, Citrix-External) put the users in the appropriate groups and then give those groups the user rights to access the app in the specific server; this way your servers are all indentical (easier to rebuild/duplicate). Also, any future employees can just be added to the group and will automatically be directed to the correct server (not having to touch the servers or farm).

You can load balance on IP address range within the Load evaluator, could you not use this?
