Thanks for your email. Yes, I agree with you. Each situation is different. FYI.. We have a setup of CF running on JRun... and IIS as our webserver. We have proxy connection enabled on JRUN for each CF instance for communication with IIS. So, we have turned off the internal JWS for our purposes and IIS directly communicates with these CF servers.
So, as I understand you are telling that J2EE based clustering is the best option we have for now, using JRun. I was kind of thinking there would be a separate clustering software for even better and effective load balancing/ failover. I was reading the article. at http://www.adobe.com/devnet/coldfusion/articles/clustering_cf8_print.htmland was kind of not able to understand by these quotation: "The current version of software level clustering in ColdFusion via Enterprise Manager is based on J2EE clustering and is not a full clustering system; it is peer-to-peer at the ColdFusion server-instance level."
