[FX.php List] Amazon Elastic Load Balancing implementation?

[Bob Patin]

Andrew's exactly right; a WPE can ONLY be connected to a single FileMaker server.

However, what you *can* do is to use the same WPE from other web servers. I've done that for years with one client who has his own web server hosted with us; his web app runs on his web server, but it accesses FileMaker Server through a WPE on another machine.
