When I've seen this behavior on our servers, I get on a terminal connection and run "cfstat". That usually shows a large number of queued requests and a handful (10 on our systems) that are hanging. If your boxes are robust enough, you can bump up simultaneous requests and see if that clears the bottleneck. Or your sim. reqs. setting is too high now and the thing chokes. We've had both those problems (it being too low and too high; 10 is a good number for us now).
I'm trying to get SeeFusion or something similar in place to actually see what 10 are hanging (so I can find the offending code), but eventually the hanging threads time out, or I just bump CF and all is well again.

They are reporting that the coldfusion services just stop responding when their site gets busy (i'm not sure at this point the number of hits when they consider the site busy), but stopping and starting the coldfusion services seems to fix the issue. They just don't want to have to stop and start the services all the time. I have the following information regarding the site configuration: 2 Redhat Linux (Ent 3 on HP/Intel) 2 Sun Solaris 9 (Sparc) 1 MS-SQL Server (Win2003 HP/Intel) Coldfusion 7.0091690 The situation is that the client had a CMS developed by another company using CF. The site is hosted at the host company but they apparently do not have anyone that knows how to manage the CF box. The hosting company has contacted me for advice on why the services just stop responding, so i'm basically stuck in the middle of all this. My background is with windows and not linux. Any tips would be helpful or if anyone has any experience with this sort of setup in the Calgary area let me know.
