Sorry, I'm trying to keep this thread alive...

The way I've dealt with this in the past is to set up each CFMX instance
with its own web server (either the JRun web server or a specific IIS or
Apache virtual host), then added each instance to the cluster, then
configured the cluster to talk to a specific IIS or Apache virtual host.
-----------
But I can't figure out how he accomplishes "configured the cluster to talk to a
specific IIS or Apache virtual host." I don't know how to configure Apache to
only talk to one (local) instance in the cluster, since only one proxy port
seems to be available (which is tied both to the cluster, and to the local
instance).
Can anyone shed some light?
:'(
Thanks,
Jamie
