I have apache on the FE web servers, and also apache on the individual CF servers, and I have apache on the CF servers connecting through the jrun connector to CF. I am proxying requests from the FE web servers to the backend CF servers through the loadbalancer, which stays in complete control. What I did was put in some restrictions in jrun.xml or one of the other xml files to restrict it to 127.0.0.1, so that the local jrun connector only connects to the local JRUN instance.
So basically I think what you need to do in your set up is install apache locally on the CF servers and proxy through that instead of using the built in web server. Apache has no problems with UNC paths. Russ > -----Original Message----- > From: Eric A.
