You can create this folder on the same machine as your first external web server, or on another machine.
Keep in mind that this shared storage location is where attachments are stored and, therefore, where all
web servers in this cluster go to find attachments.
After creating the location, write down the value as a UNC path, for example, \\servername\shared
folder\MPWeb.
