Would it be possible to have the Web server calling Cold Fusion web services on the application server.
The web server is basically a dumb piece of software that serves up HTML pages and images and passing any other requests to something that can handle it, e.g., passing .cfm/.cfc requests to an app server that runs CFMX.
The web server has .htm(l) / .gif / .jpg etc files. The app server has .cfm / .cfc files.
If you ask for foo.cfm, the web server simply asks the app server to handle the request. CFMX runs the (local) foo.cfm page and passes the rendered output back to the web server which, in turn, passes it to the browser that requested it.
If you ask for foo.htm, the web server serves up that file. Same with foo.gif, foo.swf etc.
The web server doesn't really 'call' ColdFusion at all.
