This is fairly straightforward as MOSS has been designed with scalability in mind and is achieved by following the steps below:

Build your new server

1) Install Windows Server 2003 R2
2) Install IIS 6.0
3) Install .Net 2.0 and .Net 3.0
4) Download all the latest service packs & security updates from Microsoft
5) Allow ASP.NET in the Web Service Extensions section of IIS Manager
6) Join your new server to the same domain as your existing MOSS farm.
7) Ensure your MOSS installation account is a member of the local administrators group.

Install MOSS & add server to your existing farm

1) Install MOSS using your installation account
2) Choose Advanced and Complete install
3) Run the SharePoint Product and Technologies Configuration Wizard
4) Select ‘Connect to an existing farm’
5) Enter your MOSS database server and click Retrieve Database Names. The Database name and username fields are automatically populated, enter the password and click Next
6) In Advanced Setting ensure that this new server is not set to host the Central Administration Site and click Next
7) This server is now a member of your existing farm. Use the Central Administration to configure it as a web frontend server, index server, application server etc etc.

This is a generic internal error on the IIS server. A common cause of this error in a Sharepoint environment is that Check That File Exists check box in the Internet Service Manager is checked so check here first!
