We had our systems set up so that the code all lived on a filer, and had IIS 
virtual directories pointing to the filer.  Once in a while, a brief blip could 
cause the CF server to mark the template as 404 (we're not using trusted 
cache), and then the only solution is to restart the instance.  This is not 
scalable, so we ditched it and we're just forcing authors to publish to each 
application server.

We also abandoned having separate web servers in front of the CF servers (we 
were using the ISAPI Rewrite solution that you can find on the MM website).  We 
don't server that much static content, and it also turns out that with that 
setup you can't use Flash graphs in CFCHART, because they're stored under 
/cfide, and the proxy software doesn't know which JRun instance to proxy you 
to.  We were not using context roots (it's been a long time, so I forget what 
the issue was there, but we tried using a context root and it had its own bugs).

There appers to be a bug with JRun clustering, so even if you have sticky 
sessions set, it still round robins you from server to server.  This is 
apparent when you have two CFCHART graphs on one page with Flash format.  
Refresh the page repeatedly and you'll see that first one chart, then the other 
will show "Image Expired".  I'm looking for a fix to that.
