You can get around the problems with NT sec. and NS --- BUT the biggest problem would be having to manually add all of those users -- yes, there are license issues -- and there are tags out there to add users through code to the NT sec. model - better yet would be if you are using the LDAP to add users with active directory.... The short of it is the already created security model... It is there... And it works. GOOD!
BUT... Doing your own security with CF is great! You have total control over what you do, and where you let people go. You can do this out of a database or LDAP -- you have total control and portability. Perhaps you move to a new box - all new users... Uggg... I would go for CF security -- but if you choose NT security make the users part of a domain rather than part of a single box security -- then if you do have to move boxes for some reason - the users are still there! Good luck!
