RE: Server Farm Installation

Hey! I have the same exact situation.
Two app/web servers, one DB server.
I followed your instructions and ran the CS Configuration Wizard and gave
each installation a different name for the Admin and DirectMailer databases.
I unpacked StarterSite successfully on one of the app servers, but on the
second app server, when I try to unpack, in ONLY gives me the option to
"Create a new site" and all other options "Add resources to existing...",
"Add an app in the package to existing...", "Add a Web server to an existing
application in an existing site" are all grayed out. I'm assuming the last
grayed-out option is the one I want.

What do I need to to to cluster these servers togther, using the same
Database?

Thanks again for your help!
