Thanks Ray!

" we won't support your efforts in that regard."

I had opened an incident a while back to have some help in setting this up.
(just to make sure I was on track). They had said it *is* supported but
poorly documented...and preferred over using a JDBC data store...and that
the CFMX documentation was going to be updated accordingly. My point was
that it'd be quite helpful to provide a link of some kind to the more
advanced configurations.

As for the answer on locks, thanks!

I think the idea is that - by default, they are not shared over a
cluster - and there is no DIRECT or SUPPORTED way of doing it. In other
words, you can do it, but not via the CF Admin and we won't support your
efforts in that regard.

Yes, all the scopes are safe now, including Application and Server. You
can even cfdump the server scope.
