    You will have to completely uninstall and reinstall CF to do this. You can, of course, back up your settings first.

    No, there's no alternate way. You will have to export your current configuration information (datasources, etc) using the CAR backup option in CF Administrator. Then, you'll have to uninstall CF entirely, and reinstall it using the multiserver option. Then, you can import your configuration information.
