Author issue with enlisting an orchestration on a joined biztalk server

hello

first question: if i already have biztalk server 2004 installed on box 1 with the databases residing on a separate sql server, and if i were to install bts 2k4 on box 2 and configure it to 'join' the pre-existing biztalk server, i have essentially created
a cluster. and all joining one bts to another bts does is share the same set of databases. is that correct?

second: i already had some biz projects deployed and running on box 1. when i configured bts on box 2 (joining it to another installation), everything went smoothly. to test, i created a simple filedrop biz project that would receive an xml doc in a folde
r and ship it off to another folder. so i deployed the project, and in the biztalk explorer, binded stuff. however, when i tried to enlist the orchestration, the biztalk explorer - express enlisting dialog popped up, but apparantly, the system hung up on
me. i was not able to do anything in vs. when i checked the event logg, saw a couple of errors where it was trying to find physical receive/drop locations defined for other projects deployed on box 1. and i saw similar errors on box 1 where it was trying
to find the receive/send location defined in the newly created test project on box 2.

i tried connecting to box 1, and from there, i was able to enlist and start box 2 project without any problems. however, the test project would not work unless i stopped the biztalk host on box 1.

can someone make me see the light and show me where the picture starts going wrong?

See my other response on your other post, but one more thing:

When you have this setup, the concept of hosts and host instances becomes
very important to understand because this is what determines:

where your stuff (orchestrations, pipelines, ports) runs
what security context the stuff runs under (authentication trusted, etc.)
how the load is distributed

with the databases residing on a separate sql server, and if i were to
install bts 2k4 on box 2 and configure it to 'join' the pre-existing biztalk
server, i have essentially created a cluster. and all joining one bts to
another bts does is share the same set of databases. is that correct?

when i configured bts on box 2 (joining it to another installation),
everything went smoothly. to test, i created a simple filedrop biz project
that would receive an xml doc in a folder and ship it off to another folder.
so i deployed the project, and in the biztalk explorer, binded stuff.
however, when i tried to enlist the orchestration, the biztalk explorer -
express enlisting dialog popped up, but apparantly, the system hung up on
me. i was not able to do anything in vs. when i checked the event logg, saw
a couple of errors where it was trying to find physical receive/drop
locations defined for other projects deployed on box 1. and i saw similar
