The approach that's been recommended to me in the past by Adobe/MM people was to install CF on both servers, and turn off CF services on the web server. My understanding has been that no additional license is required in this case. That said, I don't see why you couldn't copy the wsconfig.jar file from one server to the other, and run it manually. The web server configuration tool is just one file - wsconfig.jar. You will, of course, need some JVM on this other server to run this Java program, but there may already be one installed.
