Hi Ian, Sorry for the late response. I'm not terribly familiar with how CF runs on IIS. I read Dave Watts response but I don't understand it all. I have no idea what Dave means by the "Web Server Intregration Module" I do know that *all* websites are running in the application pool, but I am not sure where CF does it's processing. If it's an ISAPI application, then it does indeed run in the w3wp process and sorting all of these applications into separate app pools will provide a lot of application isolation. I hear a lot about the JVM, but I just don't know where exactly the processing gets done or how the request makes it from the inetinfo.exe process into the JVM. I think in any case, it will not hurt to sort about 10 applications into an app pool. If you have an especially heavy-hit site, get it into its own app pool. What happens is that any problems which can cause crashes (high memory utilization, unhandled exceptions, hangs) will be isolated into the w3wp.exe processes which are handling it. I hope this helps. Does anyone know more about how the process reaches from IIS to the JVM? Let me know, I'm interested.
