Coldfusion Service to be restarted after each SQL Cluster failover

Question

We have Windows 2003 Servers (Std) with IIS 6.0 . Our backend
is a clustered windows 2003 Ent environment, running an SQL 2005
Database. The entire cluster is running on a Unisys ES 7000
machine. We are running CFMX on the Windows 2003 Std Server (with
IIS6.0).
Everytime we need to perform a failover on our Windows 2003
Ent Clustered environment (same environment with the SQL database),
we normally need to recycle the Coldfusion service on about 5 or 6
of the Windows 2003 IIS6.0 servers.
The reason we need to recycle the Coldfusion service is
because requests peg the server to the point of not being able to
use it...very very slow.
Can anyone help? I'll be forever indebted

Hello,
Could you please examine the event viewer (Control Panel – Administrative Tools) and share with us any errors you may find?

Could you please examine SQL Server error log also and share any errors you may find?

If you use Windows backup feature, could you please verify if it includes a backup of SQL Server. That may be a possible
cause.
Make sure user databases do not have the “Auto close” 
option set to true.
