I have a few questions relating to MOSS 2007. I have a web front and a backend database on 2 servers, Win2K3.

(1) I noticed that the Sharepoint config database has grown to about 80GB. Is this normal? I have auditing enabled. IS there a way to prune the database without affecting anything?

(2) I am planning to bring a new DB server to the farm which will have big storage. What is the best way to move the Sharepoint DB from one server to another. I realize it is going to be complicated.

(3) I want to add another web server to the farm. What is the best way to do that. I was wondering if I could offload all indexing/searching function to this new server and how to do that.

Links would be great as well.
Thanks a bunch.
