RS web farm installation problem

Hi,
we have a web farm of two IIS servers, running under Windows 2003. Because of the security requirements, the servers are not part of a domain. After installing the Reporting Services on both machines, we have an activation problem: activation of the second server de-activates the first one and vice versa.
Following configuration is being used:
- Mirrored windows accounts are used to run RS windows and web services
- A SQL account is used to connect to the ReportServer database
- A mirrored account with RS administrative privileges is used to connect to another Report Server in the web farm
Is it possible at all to install the Reporting Server in such a configuration?
Please advise.

Alex Korygin.do you copy the config files?
or do you use the rsconfig tool to setup the RS database connection?
Because RS generates an encrypted key at startup. This key is unique for
each computer.
Also, do you use the enterprise edition?

I'm sorry for not responding earlier. We use rsconfig utility to activate the Reporting Servers. And yes, we have the Enterprise edition installed. Does it have anything to do with the fact that we use mirrored accounts and domain names of each account are different?
There must be some way to work around. I hope we do not need a domain to get it working; not having the domain in the production environment is a commonly used case. Thanks.
