Which web server and version of CF are running on this server? On my CF5/IIS5 server, I always have the exact same set of CGI variable (including CGI.HTTP_REFERER), but some of them will sometimes have a zero length string as there value. A firewall would have to _strip_ the referer header from the HTTP request... a lot of work, and I can't imagine what additional security would be gained from doing this.
