ugh you are using IIS correct? its pointing to webroots like \\nas\siteA correct? Why are you putting your cf instance there? That's a seperate ball of wax if you are using IIS or Apache. Put your cfinstance in the usual jrun4\servers\instancename on the server, not the NAS. Its doc root can be set to /. After you set two CF instances up like this, create the CF cluster listing the two instances. Then run wsconfig to configure the connector between the cluster point and IIS. bamm!
