I believe what David was saying is that if you have two Remedy servers pointing at the same DB, then the only supported method of doing that is with a server group. The reason behind this is that is the only way to ensure that the servers don't step on each other. And Remedy doesn't support two Remedy servers located on the same machine, in a server group (the only supported way to point both to the same db). So in short....you can't do what you are trying to do. If you want multiple Remedy's pointing to the same DB, they need to be on separate machines, if you want them on the same machine, you need to point them to separate DB's.

It is another ARS instance on the same hardware box sharing one single database. I'm just wondering if performance would be better if we separate all admin duties on a separate instance. I know it will not change the fact that database objects will be locked during edition by the admin instance and that the other instance will have to wait, but I thought maybe server resources would be used more efficiently this way. That's the kind of comparison I'm looking for. We currently don't have a dev box where I could perform some load testings that would show something.
