Again, so does using a reverse proxy. There is no additional security provided by distributed mode that isn't provided by a reverse proxy. The goal of both is to separate your application server (CF) from your public-facing web server. This prevents any exploit of the public-facing web server from allowing attackers to inject application server code. A reverse proxy is arguably a more secure approach than distributed mode, since you can use different platforms for your public-facing web server and your internal web+application server. > I finally did find a good article > https://wikidocs.adobe.com/wiki/display/coldfusionen/WebSocket+Enhancements > that describes exactly > what I need to do within CF11.

That's not what web sockets are for, actually. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/WebSocket But you're welcome, and good luck with your CF endeavors!
