Steffen was correct, you need at least a Coda client for every
webserver.

Coda clients have a persistent local cache so they tend to hit a server
not as hard and can function while disconnected, you do not necessarily
need to have replicated servers as well. Server replication does have
it's benefits, you can blow away and rebuild a server without having to
go back to backups.

It is a tricky process, I documented the steps here,

Correct.

They look allright.

Do you mean there are no files in /vice/db on the non-scm server? The
updateclnt/updatesrv should be responsible for keeping those in sync. If
that isn't happening you might need to copy the /vice/db/files and
/vice/db/update.tk files to the non-scm and restart updateclnt.

If you mean files that would show up in /coda, then yes, you must use
venus.

Coda clients can run on the same machine as Coda servers.
