Hi, Charlie. I believe you are right. I've found the default redirector properties will not work well for a multi-site (same connector) install. The default connection pool size was 250 and the max reuse connections was also 250. So I think one of the 2 sites on the server was using all of the connections which would eventually leave none available for the other site. I have edited the worker.properties file for the connector as shown below. So using the formula (connection_pool_size / # of sites = max_reuse_connections) seems to be working for us.
worker.cfusion.max_reuse_connections=250
worker.cfusion.connection_pool_size=500
worker.cfusion.connection_pool_timeout=60
And the next site I add to the server I will update the above properties as shown below.
worker.cfusion.max_reuse_connections=250
worker.cfusion.connection_pool_size=750
worker.cfusion.connection_pool_timeout=60
I am excited about the offer for some help Charlie. We have one developer that says he has met you before. From time to time we have some performance tuning questions that you could probably help us with. If I ever can get some budget for that type of thing I'd love to have you take a look and make some suggestions. Until then I'll have to muddle through this. Thanks so much for you input though, it means a lot coming fromm someone with your experience. -Matt
