We have 4 separare boxes
1. SQL Server as the repository for CMS
2. CMS on a box named cmsdev
3. IIS on a box named deviis
4. Client computer

Question: How will I get the IIS (deviis) box to communicate with CMS
(cmsdev) instead of the CMS installed on the IIS box?

from what I know you can't separate the cms from iis.. maybe you can
cluster two machines for SQL server instead.

You cannot. CMS requires IIS and they must both be on the same server. You
will need to install CMS on the deviis server and configure it to use the sql
server. You can have both devcms and deviis accessing the same database
repository but some changes you make to one will also affect the other, eg
setting guest access on or off.

* If you want to access the cms site via another server for security reasons
or something like that, you could try using a reverse proxy (eg Microsoft
ISA) on the front-end server pointing back to the site on the CMS server *

But basically CMS and IIS always go together. You cannot deploy CMS on its
own.

Hi Ramzi,

see here for a whitepaper explaining how to setup a developer environment:
