> ColdFusion does not bind to any IP addresses - the web server does...
Not true. The CF server normally uses a FIFO -- a UNIX socket -- located at
/tmp/cfserver to allow the web server plug-in (mod_coldfusion) to talk to
the CF engine. By setting a particular environment variable you can
configure CF to use a IP socket instead. In that case, CF will bind to a
particular network port on the localhost address.
If Macromedia/Allaire would provide the facilities, it would be possible to
configure the location of the UNIX socket or the IP address/port to which CF
binds. This configuration could be very simple to set. For instance, by
setting an environment variable (e.g.: "CF_UNIX_PORT") at run-time you could
change the location of the UNIX socket. This would likely be a 10-line
change to the CF code which would have little, if any, repercussions for
existing installations.
I would like to get some feedback from Macromedia/Allaire on their thoughts
about this small patch, and time-table for such a change.
Warmest regards,
-Jesse-
