You can either configure each instance to connect to a specific virtual
server before creating the cluster, or you can enable the built-in web
server solely to run the CF Admin for each CFMX instance. I generally prefer
the latter.

Yes, you can, although this will cause some occasional odd problems by
default, as the IIS web server root will be in one place while the CFMX web
server root will be somewhere else. You might want to edit the CFMX web
server root so that it points to the right place, while ensuring that the
CFIDE directory is only available through the CFMX web server.

I like this idea... but I'm not sure how to implement it. When I run the
wsconfig, it only shows the cluster under "JRun Server", not the
individual JRun instance so now I'm back to the same problem as I
had using CF Admin through the primary virtual host...

Subject: Re: CF Admin on JRun Cluster

We run a separate virtual host on our web servers for each app server.
Those vhosts aren't load balanced, SSL-only, and they're
access-restricted to specific IPs (the office and my house).  So we've
got our main vhost and app running at x.x.x.1, and then x.x.x.2-n are
the extra vhosts that go to each server directly.

I like this setup because I can still access my CF Admin from anywhere
with a normal web browser.  At the most, I'll need an SSH client to go
in an add an allowed IP address to the Apache conf, but that's a 300k
download, so hardly an issue.
