Moving the Master Secret Server from standalone to a cluster

| I want/need to move the BTS 2004 ESSO Master Secret Server from a standalone
box to a Windows Server cluster and need to know the best way to do this.
The current environment consists of two physical servers running BizTalk
2004 with a third physical standalone server acting as the ESSO Master Secret
Server. I'm going to replace the standalone MSS with a new Windows
Active/Passive Cluster running on entirely new hardware.
Based on what information I've been able to gather on how to do this, these
are my plans:
1. Install the cluster hardware and OS's.
2. Install and configure Enterprise Single Sign-on on the first node of the
cluster, joining this server to the existing ESSO infrastructure.
3. Using the instructions
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...pl_sso_yonq.asp move the Master Secret Server roll to this new server.
4. Shutdown the old MSS
5. Configure the MSS cluster using the instructions
http://msdn.microsoft.com/library/d...pl_sso_aumt.asp
Am I missing anything?
Is there any reason this process will not work?
Is there a better way to do this?
Thanks!

| David,
This KB article has lots of helpful info on clustering the ESSO:

Also, this method actually does work, the help files are missing some steps.
