I am cross-posting to the iis.security newsgroup (even though you
have not state the web farm is IIS based).

I think I see why DPapi would not present a solution even though
storage in text file is, as indicated in initial post, a viable solution.

However, perhaps if you were to clarify your requirement and
the environment a little more.
Is this key just a string, or do you mean a certificate (that holds
this key)? I assume what you are after is safe storage of this key
that is used for your application internal encryption in such as way
that it will be automatically available upon automated provisioning
of a new server in the farm. Right? If so, characterize the farm
so we know what if any security contexts the instances share.
