I ran into this after applying service pack 6a (I believe SP6 was OK). IIS will see the ".htm" at the end of the url and try to find a file with (what it thinks is) the specified path. My fix was to map all ".htm" files through CF. If you were doing any kind of page-level analysis of the web logs you'll then notice that the IIS log entries will change, . After you map the ".htm" to CF, under SP6a it will now log the entire URL, including the "slashed" parameters, rather than ending at the CF template.

We use this technique to make this database-driven site more visible to search engines. For example: www.mysite.com/index.cfm?id=2 becomes www.mysite.com/index.cfm/id/2.htm The site in question is www.healthandmoney.com The initial page comes up okay if we simply use that URL. However, we get the 404 message now with any of the sectional links on that first page. And if, from that point, we then enter the simple www.healthandmoney.com URL, we get the same 404 message. The site's been working okay for half a year, and our ISP says they haven't changed the IIS software or config. Any ideas, anyone?
