I've determined that Coldfusion clusters suck. They're just DUMB. If one instance in a cluster freezes, other people still get referenced to that instance and get no response. CF clustering provides no real "failover" from one instance to another, so it seems.
Am I wrong on this? I don't have a setup that warrants having multiple physical servers and a hardware load balancer so I'm wondering if there are any decent software load balancing solutions that will provide more reliability than CF clustering does. Basically I'd like to have two IIS servers each using a separate CF instance, and have a software load balancer distribute the requests to each (maintaining sticky sessions), and if one instance stops responding (due to failure or high load), force requests onto the available instance.
