Right, so I would put the front end of Report Server in the web tier and the database in the app/data tier.
Yes we do exactly this. Pretty much as Greg describes.
We had a few issues with Authentication as we wanted to implement row level security in the Tabular and DB sources which complicated it a bit (Kereberos may well be needed) but it works pretty much out of the box as long as you watch out for it as you set everything up. A couple of "test" reports to confirm the user identity that is actually being passed and the datasets they can see made it way easier to diagnose our issues.
