Modifying the Deployment.xml file for a FAST 2010 search server farm

Here’s an example of a deployment file for a three server farm, 1 admin, 1 query, and 1 back end server,

The file above is based off the multi server example found on this page: thttp://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff381240(v=office.14).aspx#BKMK_ConfigureAMultipleServerDeployment

The xml shows how the example code was modified:
