The article speaks of JRUn clustering and NLB, eh? If you are talking about sticky sessions and CF and enterprise versus standard, are you not talking of JRUn clustering? CF Standard does nto support this at all, you have to have enterprise to use JRUn clustering. ( me thinks if you own JRun seperately and purchase CF Standard to run under you can then cluster, seems an odd purchase though) JRun cluster can use sticky or non-sticky sessions, depends on your code base though which you can use.
Now, for NLB, I don't know so much about that. A quick read just now...yummy. My guess is CF standard would be fine with it. NLB stuff would occur before CF, eh? In other words, you can use the NLB clustering, just not a JRun cluster, so no "dual-cluster setup" as the article calls it.
