Apologies if this has been discussed before as I am new to the list. I checked the message archives but couldn't see any discussions related to this.
Has anyone tried running the CF Server process on a separate machine from their webserver? I see SP1 (for CF4.5) allows you to set the method of communication between webserver and CF server to either Unix domain sockets or TCP sockets via an environment variable. If TCP sockets are used, the webserver uses localhost port 7236 to communicate with CF server. Presumably you could intercept and redirect requests for localhost port 7236 to port 7236 on another machine and split the two services up? As long as the overhead in doing this TCP redirect is less than the overhead of CF server processing the CFML in the page, you'd be freeing up resources on your main webserver. Thoughts.....?
