Setting up and IIS / CF8 / SQL 2005 Cluster

[woodyard]

We've been tasked with setting up the most fault tolerant configuration of CF8 Enterprise that we can. We're primarilly a Windows/IIS shop.

From reading the docs it appears to be possible to set up a two server IIS cluster in front of a two server CF8 Cluster. The documentation for setup seems a bit unclear to me.

Is this the best configuration possible? Is there a FAQ out there or walkthrough of this type of install if so?

Do we need to set up the IIS cluster first, then CF8 cluster, then point it to the cluster?

Any help GREATLY apperciated.
