Web farms setup
I'm a little confused about web farms setup.
Suppose we have 2 production servers that are in a farm and serve the same site with the same content.

So we should:
1. install Kentico on both physical servers
2. set up the site on both physical servers (i suppose it is important for the site code to be the same on both of them, right?)
3. for each physical server add the "CMSWebFarmServerName" key with server's name to web.config
4. on one of the servers (or on all of them? or is it done on the development server which will send the content to the production servers using synchronization?) set up the web farms urls and names (if it's on one of the farm servers, should it list itself as well?)

and that's it? No scheduled task that have to be done?

Thanks in advance!

RE:Web farms setup
More information about web farm setup is available at: http://www.kentico.com/docs/devguide/defining_web_farm_servers.htm

1) Yes, you need to install Kentico site on both servers
2) Yes, it is good when there is a site on both servers
3) Yes
4) It should be enough to set the URLs on one of the servers - on the one which is sending data to production.

The tasks should be synchronized automatically, on the Tasks tab you can see only the failed tasks.
