What I'm contemplating is using two load balanced web servers (not sure if hardware or software based at this point) using IIS connecting to 1 dual 3.5 ghz processor machine with 8GB ram that would have multiple instances of MX7 enterprise installed on top of either Jrun or Oracle's 10G Application server. I am trying to get away with only having to purchase one copy of enterprise. From what I've read, I could create clusters of these multiple instances on the one machine but I don't know if that would be worthwhile (or wise). I figure that I could create (6) 1 GB jvms on that machine and still be OK.
Does this sound like a feasible configuration or am I way off? Has anyone heard of anyone running Enterprise on an Oracles Application Server?

I currently have 6-8 webservers (depending on the mood of the servers) all running ColdFusion and IIS. They all connect to a single WebLogic server via ISAPI mappings and forwards. I'd like to streamline this down to a few clustered WebLogic servers running ColdFusion (probably two instances on each box) being accessed by plain IIS servers (with a load balancer in between the web and the application layer as well as in front of the web servers like figure 2 at http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/coldfusion/j2ee/articles/balancing_j2ee.htm l). I don't quite have the money for it yet, but its almost here..... Anyway - I've been looking for information on the pros and cons. Particularly since my sites typically use some ColdFusion or java on each page - does that mean that it still makes sense to separate the IIS functionality?

Once you start thinknig about sites with their own JVMs then server resources are premium - eg I run each instance with 1gb max memory on 4gb ram servers - I could stretch to a third instance if required but prefer to leave 2gb memory for the OS. It all depends on the requirements really and security each requires on the server.... best thing is just ask here if you have any more questions, john.
