This is what I love about the CF community - always trying to make something
better. But in this case, I feel that you need to leave well enough alone.
The whole concept of clustering is that if you have one server in the
cluster go down, your site doesn't go down with it. If you start pulling
code off of the cluster onto one box, you run the risk of having that server
go down and it would be like you didn't have a cluster in the first place.
However, you could cluster the other server, but now you're just back to
square one.
Bottom line, let's let the cluster do what it's supposed to do.
Just my opinion,

Subject: Using Mappings in a Cluster
Does everyone know that mappings can be set to directories or drives OFF the
server?
For clustered servers, you could use FuseBox to map to a directory off the
server, so that all the custom tags would be pulling from the SAME shared
directory.
That is, when you are developing, your mapping to the tag library would in
the same web site for convenience. For production, the mapping would be to
a mapped network drive that is shared by all the servers. Just update your
custom tags in one place across the cluster!
This has the additional benefit of hiding and securing your critical code
off the web server.
Using mapping in this way is an idea that I think FuseBoxers should look
into. Has anybody tried this before?
