Well, it's been over a month since I said I'd report back - apologies , but it's been a busy month! - and I can tell you a little bit about how we're doing this now. We are indeed using CFMX for J2EE on JRun 4. We are telling CFMX to use J2EE sessions and then we are using the underlying JRun clustering functionality to manage our CFMX server instances. The load balancing in JRun is quite configurable and your session 'sticks' to the server instance on which it was created. We're using session scope rather than client scope. I'll probably be able to tell you more about this in a few weeks when we've done more load testing and more tuning.
