When using VMware, you end up with multiple virtual machines. Within any of these machines, you can only run one copy of CF. In any case, I don't think you'd want to host web content on VMware, for performance reasons. I use VMware quite a bit (right now, I've got three VMs on my Windows 2000 laptop, and they can all talk to each other over IP, which is kind of amazing), but you end up with multiple OSs, obviously, and serious constraints with regard to memory and general performance issues. In any case, it's not available for Solaris, I don't think.
