CF Admin question. What are the “gotcha’s” of turning on “Use internal cache to store queries” in a production enviornment?

By default, CF used EHCache to store cached queries. Checking that box will fall back to using internal storage, which is mostly done to support legacy applications or in cases where utilization of EHCache is (for whatever reason) not within the scope of possibilities for you use case.

So CF uses EHCache by default without configurable options in the CF Admin?

I'm not sure what you mean by "without configurable options". The caching page in the Server Settings template has a variety of settings available, such as maximum number of cached queries, etc...

if you want to control the cache settings directly you will want to use an external cache and tie to that. I've had good luck with Redis (though the cloud version I used had some serious issues with uptime lol)
