It's tricky... There's a couple issues that are real gotchas doing things this way. The short answers are:
Yes, CFMX 6.1 and 7 will co-exist on the same server, both running at the same time. No, without modification, the Jrun connectors won't load into Apache because the connector name "jrun_module" is "owned" by whichever loads first and there's only one internal namespace for Apache connectors. There's a couple things you can do: 1) In CFMX 6.1, unzip the ApacheModuleColdFusion.zip file, edit the source to change any reference to jrun_module to read cmfx_module, and compile the connector. Then use that new name in your apache vhost config. I'm not even sure if this is LEGAL by Macromedia's EULA for the connector, and it's certainly not supported. But, I played with it a while back and it works. Compile instructions are in the associated txt file in the zip or here: http://www.macromedia.com/cfusion/knowledgebase/index.cfm?id=tn_18748 It's nice, because you can load DSOs on a per-vhost basis... and use ifmodule to only load it if needed. Mind you, though, that even separate apache vhosts will share a common application scope because all CFMX variables are managed in CFMX's memory space, NOT apache's. 2) Quit using the connector altogether and use mod_proxy and mod_http_proxy to pass all requests for .cfm files to the CFMX server of your choice (based on your vhost's proxy config). For more info, see this: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/j2ee/articles/balancing_j2ee03.html The disadvantage is it's tricky to set up and get right. The major advantages are the ability to handle friendly URLs and even the fact that you can use any CFMX server you have access to... i.e. same box, different box, different network, etc. Very cool stuff.
