I have read about some of the load balancing features of Cold Fusion, has anyone used the built in features of CF 8 (this might only be in the Enterprise version).
Along those lines, if someone has gotten the built in CF load balancing working, I was wondering if you would be able to run two CF Servers on the same machine configured for load balancing? Let me state where I am coming from with this question, I have a client where I keep getting random lockups in the system, where CF becomes completely unresponsive. I have been trying to track this down with no luck, but I was reading about the Load balancing on CF 8 and I was wondering if I could run two CF servers on one machine so that if one locks up, all the other requests would get forwarded to the other CF server on the same machine. Right now, CF is the only thing running on the server, and there are plenty of resources left (even during a lock up, processor and memory usage are not high) so I was thinking about ways to more fully utilize the machine. (And before you ask, yes I did increase the Java Heap Size, and when it locks up, I am looking at the Java Heap, and it can be below 400mb). -Matthew R.

I've looked at some and the price range is huge. I'm not sure I need anything but sticky sessions, and perhaps host header redirection as regard features.

Sure. You have fault tolerance, and you could easily increase the number of VMs as necessary, as long as you have the resources to do so.
