Two Questions:
1. Can you install Visual Source Safe on one box and the database (the code)
stored on another. I know there might be a degree of latency over the
network, but we only have 3 developers.
2. Does anyone know of any gotcha running Visual Source Safe on a cluster.
Windows 2003 Active/Passive cluster configuration.

I have always used SourceSafe that way (With the DB on a separate server
from the dev. machine(s)). In fact I've always assumed thats the way it's
SUPPOSED to be used... A local copy of the code is on my personal
machine(obvious ly) but the actual SS database of code history etc. is on the
server. Never had any serious problems.
2. Does anyone know of any gotcha running Visual Source Safe on a cluster.
Windows 2003 Active/Passive cluster configuration.
Sorry, can't help with that one... only ever had it running on a single
server.
Cheers,
Chris.

Yes you can.

Not sure, but likely not. Its not really up to snuff even when its not
on a cluster.
If you really care about your source code, check out SourceGear's
Vault. Its MUCH more reliable (it uses Sql Server to store its
database), quicker, and as an added bonus, you can get your source from
anywhere on the internet (if you expose the VaultService web service to
the internet). If you're going to share code across physical office
locations, the speed alone will be worth it.. VSS is horribly slow over
WAN. http://www.sourcegear.com/vault/ (not an employee, just a happy
customer)

Look at all the other options as well though. Subversion is fantastic -

I'm not a developer but the network guy. The code that is checked in to SS
resides on our file server. The VSS Server is on an application server. I
point VSS Server to the it's database which lives on the file server. This
application server is NOT clustered. The file server is. I don't care about
the application... I do care about the code which is checked into VSS. I can
resinstall the VSS application easy. Getting back over a years worth of
development, not so easy. Yes we have backup, etc. but I'd still like to
have the code on our file server in the application on the appliaction
server. Anyone see any issues with this?

And if you want to keep your source safe while you are editing it and know
what you have changed, give AJC Active Backup a try: http://www.ajcsoft.com/AJCActBk.php

Or use a decent IDE like Eclipse which does this for you (and allows
comparisons etc). Shame it doesn't do C#...

Agreed but AJC Active Backup can do this with *all* files you edit, not just
in the IDE :-)

Yes, I've heard great things about subversion as well. I just threw
out Vault because I'm happy with it, and the client will be familar to
VSS users.

I do not have a lot of experience with IIS which probably is not helping but

I have a solution in Source Safe that I want to add some web service
projects to.
I create a folder under my solution folder for the new web service project.
I create a virtual directory using IIS and accept the default settings for
