"Open the JRun_root\servers\server_name directory and delete the
default-ear and rds directories; for example, delete
C:\JRun4\servers\techsupp\rds and
C:\JRun4\servers\techsupp\default-ear. This step removes the unneeded
JRun default web application and disables RDS support. Macromedia
Dreamweaver and HomeSite do not work properly with RDS when you have
multiple ColdFusion servers on a single web server. "
of course this doc is dated 10/2002
Guess I'll fire 'em up and see what happens!

It's a best practice to disable RDS on production servers for obvious
reasons. I've never heard anything about disabling it in multiple-instance
configurations beyond that, though. You can run RDS on each instance, and in
fact, that's the default I think.
However, you can't install ODBC services for additional instances beyond the
first installed. That might be what you're thinking of.
