Moving from 1 App server to triad/cluster.

Not finding much on tried configuration. Read through the on-line doc but nothing specific for what we need answers on.

Current server: All folder/file locations are on local machine, under documents folder. This does'yt seem like a good place for info to be shared on a cluster.

Questions:

1. Should we use network locations for all of the folder/fil locations 
    DB connection files, synbols, pictures, etc.

2. Does BT sync up files in tried or does it only perform switching between the nodes?

3. ANy other thought on triad configurations.
