Yup... Got it working just fine. After I re-checked all the registry
settings required according to the Defusion article, it went a lot smoother.
I also managed to get CFFILE to work via UNC paths, which I have repeated
heard is not possible. My biggest concern over using the UNC path method
for collections is the potential network traffic it could generate when
users are doing searches. I haven't set up a test for it yet, but I fear
that CF would load the entire collection through the network each time a
search was conducted. Not sure how busy that's going to make my network, or
how much it's going to slow down searches.
