If the goal is to have failover and session replication, then they need to be duplicates. It's really as simple as copying the cfusion-ear file and deploying through the JRun JMS. You would then add this instance (as many as required) to the cluster. Or, you can use the CF Enterprise manager to do so. I'm old fashioned, however, and would rather deploy things the old 6.1 way. As to the database question... not sure what you're looking for here. All of my databases are called through JDBC, and aren't physically hosted on the machine. All the CFAdmin settings should be duplicated when you deploy the mirrored copy, so datasources should work just fine. The only downside is managing multiple copies of the CF administrator. I've not found a good way to do this automagically as modifying the uderlying neo-****.xml files manually require a service restart to take effect.
