not understanding multi-server install instructions

[Bentfinger]

I am having difficulty following the poundteam Multi-server install manual exactly (I know this is eflo, but maybe you can help). In the manual, the following step is listed:
On all servers # nano +18 /etc/astguiclient.conf
Changes:
 VARactive_keepalives => 123468 (on all but one server)
 VARactive_keepalives => 12345678 (on one server only)
 VARDB_server => localhost to: VARDB_server => 192.168.10.10 (DO NOT MAKE THIS CHANGE ON THE DATABASE SERVER)
Replacing 192.168.10.10 with your database server’s IP. Do not change this on the database server, it should be left “localhost”.
# reboot
Reboot each server to enable the new database link and activate the new “keepalive” script settings.

The part I do not understand is the reference to "all but one server" and "on one server only" as compared to "database server". I am setting up an install with 1 web server, 1 DB server and 2 dialer servers. In the previous directions, would "all but one" mean the web and the 2 dialers, and the "one server only" refer to the DB server, or am i reading this wrong?

The all but one was missing 5 & 7 (meaning do not activate 5 & 7 on these servers ... but on ONE of them you will activate 5 & 7). This is actually part of the installation when you use install.pl for Vicidial. It is a bit outdated as well since there are more options now (including "E").

This manual is a "collection" of all the other information that was out there at the time. It's NOT meant to override the instructions during the Vicidial "install.pl" script ... which is what you should go with.

In this case: you would likely leave 5 & 7 ON for your DB and OFF for all the other servers, but the reason it is worded that way is that the "one" server COULD be any server in the cluster, it need not be the DB server (as long as it's only ONE ...).
