Um.... Nice try, but that's illegal. M$'s licensing states that if
you are using SQL server for a webserver, you NEED the internet
connector license OR an unlimited client license. CF Server is
considered multiplexing middleware, and there's a specific section in
the licensing about that. You *can't* get around it by limiting the
number of worker threads. And besides... Using only 5 workers on
any reasonably powered server would be crippling it -- you want
between 4 and 6 thread per processor if my memory serves...
