I'll second this...I'm curious too. As I have developed a site using CF +
SQL 7 over 4 clustered servers (2 x DB + 2 x web) and it works a treat.

I'm curious on this one. What set-up did you have? Where did the issues
arise? Did you cluster? CF Server and DB on same machine? Caching
strategies? DB Stored Procedures? What server settings?
No criticism, just genuinely interested as Allaire has done some analysis
which indicates a dual pIII 1/2 Gig server should be able to deal with
500-600 responses every 8 seconds and that clustering servers provides a
linear growth.
