Mike If your running CFMX for JRUN, you can set up multiple instances and cluster between the instances themselves, and balance load across instances rather than physical servers. Also you can do some pretty cool stuff relating to resource management when it comes to the instances like setting up an instance for a certain domain and that domain only uses that instances resources.
Also, if an instance gets loaded, you can kill that instance without having to pull down the whole cf environment. >From what I hear, Robbin is the one to talk to about the JRUN side of it, dam >geek! :) Regards Steve Onnis -----Original Message----- From: [EMAIL PROTECTED] [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED] On Behalf Of Mike Kear Sent: Thursday, January 13, 2005 1:35 PM To: CFAussie Mailing List Subject: [cfaussie] Why run multiple instances of CFMX? I've meant to ask this for a while now ... why do people run multiple instances of ColdFusion? I can see that one reason would be to run them in a development environment, and have different setups to match the client's differing environments, but is there any other reason? Otherwise, wouldn't multiple instances of CFMX just consume more of the server's resources? -- Cheers Mike Kear Windsor, NSW, Australia Certified Advanced ColdFusion Developer AFP Webworks http://afpwebworks.com ColdFusion, PHP, ASP, ASP.NET hosting from AUD$15/month --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [EMAIL PROTECTED] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/ --- You are currently subscribed to cfaussie as: [email protected] To unsubscribe send a blank email to [EMAIL PROTECTED] Aussie Macromedia Developers: http://lists.daemon.com.au/
