Now, we've come full-circle. I do this on my own laptop; I have CF 5, CFMX Enterprise and CFMX for J2EE on JRun 4, running against Apache 1.3.x, Apache 2, IIS 5, and WebSite. But that's for testing, not production, and I don't have to run them all simultaneously. I've never encountered a situation where I'd want to run two production web servers on a single physical server simultaneously, and have them both connected to a single version of CF, either.
