I can't answer the licensing questions, because I'm not sure about that. My presumption would be that you do not need a CF license at all on the web server, only on the servers actually running CF. So, if my presumption is correct, you should be able to install CF on all three servers, turn it off on the web server, then use the web server configuration utility to connect IIS to the cluster running on the other two servers. You could run the web server configuration utility that comes with CF Standard, I think, because it's the same utility that comes with Enterprise.
