You mean you want to be able to share in-memory variables between multiple instances of the CF Server on one machine? I know that has not been an option in the past to run multiple instances of CF Server on a single machine. I wonder if CFMX will allow us to run ColdFusion apps in this configuration.

Or perhaps, a better comment would be you get what you pay for? I don't expect Macromedia to institute a program like this, although I can see where there may be benefits. -- Jeffry Houser | mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] Need a Web Developer? Contact me!
