I can't really help you with configuration as that is specific to your needs. I would advise you to develop a testing methodology to determine the best configuration for your specific needs. However, you should be aware that using multiple instances of CFMX clustered together on a single server will result in better performance even for single applications. The reason for this is that you will actually have more than one instance of those applications load balanced together, which should help you make better use of your multiple processors.
The other thing I will point out -- although I expect to get flamed on it -- is that you will make much better use of your hardware with *nix than you will with Windows. -Matt On Friday, August 1, 2003, at 11:42 AM, Avi Flax wrote: > Matt, thanks for the reply!
