I'm a little confused about what you're asking, but I believe all you need to do is copy the wsconfig file to the other server and be able to set up the connection that way. You can also install the development edition if you just need it for the connector. The best choice of course would be to use apache and use the proxying/built in load balancing to connect to the other servers. I'm not sure how much redundancy you're introducting by using a separate web server, since that now becomes the single point of failure.
It looks like in your situation it would be better to either use the 2 servers the way they are with connector load balancing (IIS or apache on either of the servers should be able to connect to any of the 2 servers), or get 2 front end web servers and set up some kind of load balancer in front of them (preferably hardware).
