Same as scaling a web server farm. Users point to an application pool. The
back-end SQL Server handles statefulness, but the work is done at the RS
application layer.

How would you scale out SSRS for an application? As when specifying
the report server location you can only include one server.

The RS application is stateless. You can "farm" it across many application

back-end databases which you place on the clustered SQL host. Regardless
of
which front-end server each requist "hits" the user experience is exactly
the same. Think of SSRS as a web app, not as a database engine.

You can install it to each node on a cluster, but there is no way to
make
SSRS "cluster-aware". It is like a web farm where more nodes add
scalability and redundancy.

Does that mean it can be configured on a cluster?

SSRS is not natively cluster-aware. I usually don't install SSRS on
my
database clusters as it does not work and play well with other SQL
components on the same box. SQL 2008 got better, though.

For an existing SQL 2005 cluster which is inactive/passive mode,
how
can you install SSRS as cluster enabled?
The only option seem to be a local instance for the SQL Server.
