Thanks that's interesting. Any thoughts on whether it's a good idea or not? The original thought was that because we are going to have two sites one using jsp's the other cf accessible from the same web server, it would be more resilient to put CF on another server. I'm sort of thinking maybe it sounds like more trouble than it's worth. Any general pros and cons?

Basically, you must have the ISAPI filter for CF installed on the IIS server and then use the distributed processing stuff to talk to the remote CF server. http://www.macromedia.com/v1/Handlers/index.cfm?ID=16345&Method=Full This article is actually for CF4.5.1, but the process is still the same for CF5 as it was for CF3. ;o) Have a look in the cfdist.ini and the cfremote.ini files in c:\cfusion\ as well...
