node.
• Ensure that intra-cluster network traffic is isolated from all other network traffic.
• Implement Network Access Protection (NAP) for all of the client computers on the
internal network and for all of the client computers that connect remotely.
EXISTING ENVIRONMENT
The relevant servers in the main office are configured as shown in the following table.
The server has the following configurations:
• NPAS1 contains a static IP address pool,
• Web1, Web2, and Web3host a copy of the corporate Web site.
• Web1, Web2, and Web3 are located in the perimeter network and belong to a
workgroup.
All client computers run Windows XP Professional, Windows Vista Enterprise, or Windows
7 Enterprise, All client computers are members of the domain.
Some users work remotely. To access the company’s internal resources, the remote users use
a VPN connection to NPAS1.
Existing Active Directors/Directory Services

Explanation:
http ://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/cc731992%28WS.10%29.aspx
The Shared Configuration feature enables you to do the following actions:
Configure the Web server to use configuration files and encryption keys from a central location.
Export the configuration files and encryption keys from your Web server to a central location that
can be shared with other servers or used to store a backup copy of configuration files and encryption
keys.
This is useful when you have a Web farm and want each Web server in the farm to use the same
configuration files and encryption keys.
