After several months of documenting and testing, I finally deployed our new public facing web server. This server was designed for high-availability through the use of multiple CF9 application clusters. Each of these clusters makes use of multiple instances to help keep their respective web apps running under load. Additionally, in order to facilitate application isolation, each of our major web apps was placed within its own IIS application pool and ColdFusion cluster. This way, should one of the web applications cluster fail, it will not take out the remaining web apps running on the server.
There's not a lot of documentation out there on this type of set-up, so once I have a chance to make it a little less specific to our needs, I'll see what I can do about posting it for the general public.
