Separating CF 7 and IIS on different servers

[marco99]

I have an application that I wrote and normally host in my environment with CF 7 Enterprise and the Web server (IIS 6) installed on the same server (same physical machine). However, I now have a client that wants to install the application in their data center and they require that the Web server be isolated on a separate machine in their DMZ network segment, with the CF application server isolated on another network segment. In reviewing the CF 7 documentation, I couldn't find instructions for installing and configuring this type of environment. Does anyone know of any installation instructions for this configuration that you could point me to? I also need to know if any special ports need to be opened between the two separate network segments.

Does anyone have any thoughts on this or can anyone point me to documentation that describes this separated server installation?

I believe the server documentation discusses this. I believe the basic
process is to use the web configuration tool on the web server and when
you run it, you point the web server to the ColdFusion application server.
