I have a question about "distributed mode" is anyone running CF in distributed mode?
Yup. macromedia.com runs that way. Read:

Can CF really run as fast in distributed mode as when locally located on the webserver, seeing it has to go through the network etc.?
It all depends on the traffic on your site. If you are loading images etc and CSS from the web server while the CF server is busy rendering HTML for some other request then you are going to do better than trying to have one server doing both things at once.
macromedia.com gets massive static traffic as well as high dynamic traffic so distributed mode allows us to optimize performance of both the static content (HTML, images, etc) and dynamic content (CFML).
