Distributed Environment in CF8

[Aida Nixon]

Just wondering if anyone out there is running Coldfusion 8 in a distributed environment?  

If so did you have a work around for having the .cfm and .cfml files duplicated to the Coldfusion server?

Do you have any recommendations on how to setup this environment more efficiently rather than having the same files all over the place?

Regards

Aida

We have a pair of fileservers setup to be redundant to each other that all
six of our CF servers are use for the code.

Yes.

As long as you have only a single webroot in your installation, there
is no need for having the CFML templates present on the webserver at
all. If you do need multiple webroots and you have a reasonably modern
application that follows a Front Controller pattern, just putting an
empty index.cfm in the webroot on the webserver and he real code on
the CF server will do fine.

Actually, you don't need any files on the web server at all. What you do
need to do is replicate the web servers document root path on the ColdFusion
server. We've just setup a CF 8 distributed mode with VirtualHosts and
multiple instances and that was what we had to do. We also push files from
source control out to the production servers so synching/replicating the
files isn't a problem,
