Joel, I would suggest to anyone to use the multi-server install. Each cf server instance has it's own jvm and RAM allocation, plus you truly separate your applications at that point (we run an instance for front-end site display and a separate instance for the Control Panel app to configure sites).
That being said, you might not want a separate instance for every site, as you can quickly eat system resources as well. The default cfusion instance is only used for it's Enterprise Manager to create new instances, otherwise we turn it off by default. The step you've probably missed is in setting up the Jrun connector. Once your new instance is running, you need to setup a webserver connector, connecting a site to a specific JRun instance. You do this with the wsconfig utility: c:\Jrun4\bin\wsconfig.exe This is a java based utility, that will show you all of the current connectors, and allow you to add or remove connectors. It is very easy to use with IIS.
