We've recently gone live using Windows Load balancing on Windows 2003 Server and CFMX7 for out Intranet and about to go live with the same but CFMX7 Enterprise for our internet sites. It works just fine with CFMX - you're only load balancing port 80 at the end of the day. We're using client variables stored in cookies for maintaining state - yeah yeah I know client vars are the spawn of satan. CF Enterprise allows you to pass sync sessions across instances etc etc if you use them.
We have it setup none sticky so requests alernate between either node in the farm. so far so good, jb.
