No kidding, I had a task that was timing out, then did some research on XML
inside MS SQL, now it takes about 3 seconds if that I think it takes longer
to receive the reply from the API then it does for SQL server to insert the
records. Took a bit to grasp it, but wow, it's totally changed how I think
about managing XML

Even storing the straight XML in a column under XML data type is super cool!
it creates a link in Management studio that when clicked opens the XML in a
new window all color formatted and stuff.

That's why I continue to avoided them like the plague.

Darn those XML node with child members!

Good thing I started handing off most of my XML reply messages from API's
straight to MS SQL server, so much simpler ;-)

Yes, it does, which can obviously cause problems if you're not
careful. Many developers ensure that their web services have their own
Application.cfc/cfm by putting them in a separate directory.

It's more complicated than that. When you install an ISAPI filter, all
traffic is processed by that filter. The filter does whatever it's
supposed to do, then forwards the request to the next stage of the IIS
processing pipeline if there's anything left to do. My understanding
is that Apache modules basically work the same way.

In the case of CF, the request is received by IIS, sent to the ISAPI
filter, which passes the request to CF. CF looks at the URL patterns
it has defined in web.xml. It then processes the request if it matches
one of the URL patterns, or returns the request to the ISAPI filter if
it doesn't. There is a tiny bit of overhead from all this request
passing, which is why some high-availability environments (like the
Macromedia site and presumably now the Adobe site) use a non-standard
context root (something other than "/") for CF. By using a
non-standard context root, the filter can be limited to a specific
predetermined URL pattern, like "/cfusion".

None of this actually solves your problem, but it might explain why
you're having that problem.

Finally, I hate to say this, but I'd recommended using a reverse proxy
instead of distributed mode, which I've always found kind of fragile
and problematic. Using a reverse proxy gets you the same benefits (the
ability to isolate CF from your public interface, the ability to
segment serving static files from dynamic ones) but doesn't rely on
anything built into CF/JRun. We have a few high-availability clients
using a reverse proxy, typically on public-facing Apache on Unix
servers, sending requests to isolated CF/IIS servers internally, and
this works pretty well.

Of course, it's probably too late to rethink your architecture at this point.
