Minimum number of server running

Question

Hello,
I've got an issue in production but I'm not sure it is not a normal behaviour.
We have one group of server defined as following :
+##############################################################################+
*SERVERS+
+###############################################################################+
DEFAULT:
+     RESTART=Y+
+     MAXGEN=3+
+     GRACE=300+
+     SYSTEM_ACCESS=FASTPATH+
+     MINDISPATCHTHREADS=0+
+     MAXDISPATCHTHREADS=1+
+     THREADSTACKSIZE=0+
+     RQPERM=0666+
+     REPLYQ=Y+
+     RPPERM=0666+
+     CONV=N+
+...+
cleard     SRVGRP=CLEARDRELCOM
SRVID=1900
CLOPT="-e /appli/tuxedo/log/CCSP01P0/stderr1900 -o /appli/tuxedo/log/CCSP01P0/stdout1900 -s DB_RELCOM  -p1,60:2,30 -- -cbdir /appli/tuxedo/log/CCSP01P0/CBcache1900"
SEQUENCE=1900
RQADDR=relcomQ
MIN=4
MAX=6
After the initial boot it appears that some of the four initial processes are stopped and not restarted by the BBL.
So my interrogation is the following :
- Does the MIN parameters defined only the number of processes to be started or also the minimum number of processes to be present at any time ?
- Does the "-p" parameters in the CLOPT can decaying processes under the MIN parameters value ?
Regards

We have a branch office, currently housing 10 staff.
The office is to be expanded to 16.
Currently staff are using thin clients and logging into our Citrix Xenapp 6.5 server every day
The server comfortably copes with the 10 heads so far and is licenced to handle 20 concurrent connections.
What is the minimum number of heads before you would recommend adding a server to a branch office?
