Chris, CFMX7 Ent. Ed.
To clarify: If I have siteA on server#1 (in IIS) with content root of \\nas\siteA, and if I have siteA on server#2 with same root of \\nas\siteA and run CF pages all is well - there is no CF clustering at this point. But I'd like to cluster these 2 sites. So in the CFAdmin on server#1 I use the Instance Manager to create this instance#1 for siteA. I specify the server directory as \\nas\siteA. All is well. Now if I use the CFAdmin on server#2 and create an intance for siteA on server#2 (giving it a unique name) and specify the same root of \\nas\siteA the creation will error with a CF error in the admin saying this directory already exists (which it does). So the creation of this instance on server#2 fails. Seems like each instance needs a unique web root but I need to keep the content in one place so the client can deal with it. Thanks for your input!
