Update 2: It appears as though changes in the CF admin panel are not being saved in /opt/coldfusion/odbc/odbc.ini as I would assume they should be. If I manually set a datasource to the new server in the odbc.ini, it doesn't verify. My take on what is happening - for whatever reasons, when I make a change on the admin panel, it isn't properly updating the odbc.ini file. When I verify the odbc connection, it looks like it is good because it is verifying the old information, and not the information I just supplied. If anyone has a clue, I'm listening!
