Citrix Netscaler cant assign requested address
xenapp 6.5 enviro. Netscaler VPX (5). Have entrust root, chain, and server certificates installed, linked, and verified. can connect locally through the netscaler virtual server without issue (logging into the virtual server from the LAN). Login, can see and access published desktop as well as published apps. When accessing through the external address though, i can log in and get all the way to the point of opening the desktop or apps and receive the error: "Unable to launch your application, cannot connect to Citrix Xenapp server. Can't assign requested address". SSL is showing valid from the remote computer.
The Netscaler is setup on the LAN side of my firewall, i have not moved it to the DMZ yet so LDAP and Citrix servers are all local. ports opened on firewall pointing to the virtual server only are 80,443,8080,2598,546-547,a

sorry for the delay. some other items took priority, but i am back at this now.
Using a webinterface from a windows server. the netscaler is pointed to a specific server / sta. WI on that server and sta are working. when i attempt to access this from a mac i get a different result: Cannot connect, the server "random farm server.com:1494" cannot be found on the network. as i continue to attempt to launch it will cycle through every one of my farm servers. i have verified 1494 is open and is getting an ICA response via telnet. i have also opened a range of ip addresses covering all of my farm servers for 1494 & 2598. the netscaler itself is open on 80, 8080, and 443. the ica log file is attached. the netscaler is new to me so i am not sure if there should be a server or site name under [applicationservers] desktop=
Also, due to the number of servers in the farm i could not successfully pull a netstat, i suppose i can build a test farm with a single server for that.
..update- from looking at my internal ica file it does not list an app server either, so i guess it is not needed

Gateway direct was the issue, set up secondary WI and recreated the virtual server and all is well.
