To remove any complexity at the start, here's a quick high-level look at the process that I like to use:
1. Install CF in multiserver mode. During this process CF will ask you to configure your webserver. Don't configure IIS globally, but instead choose only the virtual site that will house your CFIDE directory structure. Your other sites will then be free to accept ties to additional CFMX application servers. Don't worry, if you miss this you can always remove incorrect configurations using the wsconfig tool. 2. Go into the CF Adminstrator and create new application servers (in the instance manager section, I believe it's called). If you don't need a separate jvm.config for each instance then you can simply create them and go. If you do then you'll want to uncheck the "Create Windows Service" checkboxes (actual label text may vary) and run the jrunsvc utility for each service you create. 3. Run the wsconfig utility to connect a given IIS virtual site to each of your application servers. Obviously, each step requires more detail, but sometimes it helps me to keep the whole overview simple and worry about the details at each individual step. You can use jrunsvc --help and wsconfig --help for assistance calling each utility, as required.
