if you have the owners manual, read it VERY VERY CAREFULLY - like an engeering manual. especially the part about networking the flashes. canon also has a good support forum.

A 2 flash system would be most versatile, but you can fire your 430EX with Canon ST-E2 which is lighter than a flash. Other solutions are Pocket wizards, skyport, or other electronic triggers but then you lose the ETTL function.

Yes, ST-E2 is very useful. :)
