Just to follow-up on this issue:

We've believe we've narrowed down our instability problems to using the following custom tag:

cfx_PaymentNet
http://www.circa3k.com/CustomTag.cfm?ID=43

This tag is old (3-4 years?), and never caused issues with CF5, or CFMX.. but it doesn't seem to play nice CFMX 6.1.  As soon as a job runs that calls the tag a decent amount of times (it needs to be called once per order), the "Could not connect" error appears up.... usually 3-4 days after the last time the server was rebooted.  Then, once the error occurs, CF doesn't want to stop as a service, so we reboot the box, and the cycle continues.

Does anyone know of an updated version?  I couldn't find anything on the VeriSign site.

At this point, I'm afriad to open an issue at Macromedia.  It's $500, and I have a feeling they'll blame the cfx tag and not CF, even though it had been working fine in previous versions of ColdFusion.

Thoughts?

  Is your CF Install up to date? Check this page:
  http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/cfmx61_issues.htm

  and make sure you have this patch:
  http://www.macromedia.com/support/coldfusion/ts/documents/cfmx61_sqlserver_c
  pu.htm
  If your server is dual-cpu, then 50% cpu could = 100% for 1 processor,
  therefore the above patch would fix it.

  I have this problem on one of my servers too, even still, after all the
  patches. Our latest blind guess in the dark is that the server is too busy,
  so we're going to CFMX with J2EE using multiple CF servers. I can only hope
  that solves it for us.

  Keep us all posted if you figure anything out.

    Thanks for the suggestion, but this situation is a little different.  In
  my
    case the entire CFMX server dies.  None of the pages will serve out
    anymore - ColdFusion becomes completely unresponsive, and refreshing the
    page doesn't help.  To fix it, we have to stop IIS, restart ColdFusion,
  then
    restart IIS.

    We're not using getPageContext anywhere in our applications...

    It's really weird that CFMX just dies completely, and JRun hangs at 50%
  CPU
    usage... but only on 1 of our 3 boxes.

    We've had the same problem - at least the same error message.  If you
    refresh the page then it completes the request properly.  I traced it down
    to using getPageContext().Forward.  I could never figure out why it was
    causing a problem - I changed the statement to getPageContext().Include
    (which in my case didn't affect the logic) and everything works fine.  I
    suspect that somehow it was getting confused, couldn't find the page it
  was
    looking for and timed out.  It seemed to happen most when it was
  forwarding
    to another directory.  Some other people have had the same problem but
  I've
    never seen a solution (or an explanation for that matter).
