If I recall correctly, you would have to have all of the CF pages on both the web and CF servers, although the work done to generate output from those pages would be done only by the CF servers. Also, if I recall correctly, you will need licenses for CF on all web and CF servers, even though you won't actually be running the CF engine on the web servers. Finally, while you'll presumably be sparing CPU cycles on your web servers this way, they'll still have to wait until the CF server finishes generating a request before sending that response to the client, so I can't say whether you'll buy yourself any significant performance increase by doing this. If you just want to take the load of handling static files off of the CF servers, you can do that without all this work - just put all your images on a separate web server, and point to them within your HTML and CF pages appropriately.
