We have CF 7 running in distributed mode (IIS as Web server
on one PC and the CF App server w/ JRun on another PC) and
everything is working fine. However, in this mode (by design) the
image files (Gifs, Jpegs, etc.) that are referenced by pages are
served by the IIS server. We have a graphics application that we're
hosting in this environment where users upload pictures for others
to view/download. The problem is that the uploaded files are
transferred over the Jrun connector that binds the IIS Web server
to ColdFusion, placing the files on the CF Server PC, not the IIS
server. We can't move the files back to the Web server as it is on
a separate network segment (DMZ) where FTP transfers are
prohibited. Is there a way to modify the CF/Jrun connector so that
requests received by IIS for image files are served by the CF app
server PC? I know that this bypasses one of the intentions of
distributed mode where HTML and image file requests are processed
directly by the Web server for speed and load management, but that
isn't an issue in our case; we're using distributed strictly to
satisfy an IT security requirement.
