Yes you could. It also allows you to deploy better security.
Multiple sites on the same instance can get each others application data, sessions, files etc through java. By putting a site on its own instance and securing that instance of JRUN by running it under a limited user account, you can stop it getting at the data and variables of other sites on other instances. - Snake -----Original Message----- From: Rick Faircloth [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: 08 July 2006 00:23 To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFMX7 Multiserver on Apache So...could I set up one instance of CF as a dev server, and another as a production server? Rick -----Original Message----- From: Russ [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Sent: Friday, July 07, 2006 6:54 PM To: CF-Talk Subject: RE: CFMX7 Multiserver on Apache You might want to separate out the sites so that if a site crashes CF, only that site is affected. You might also want to tune threading/memory requirements per site. Also when used with clustering, it provides failover, but I'm guessing that's not what OP is doing.
