In that situation specifically I cannot recommend Amazon S3 + CloudFront more. It's been truly outstanding for us. We set up separate S3 "buckets" for each of our CMS websites and CloudFront takes care of the edge distribution. As someone else has already noted, you can mount an S3 bucket as a mapped network drive in ColdFusion, so that s3:\\mys3bucket.mydomain.com is usable like any other network drive for file and directory operations. Great stuff.

We are indeed trying to find another solution for having mirrored sites that we would have to manage. We have 5,000 CMS clients on the system and that is a ton of files (images, documents, css, etc.) to mirror, so a CDN seems like a better fit, but then that leaves the Coldfusion generated content. We are trying to determine if it would be better (cost vs. management headaches) to use the CDN to distribute the ColdFusion content as well or mirror.
