Once upon a time, someone on this list described a process where they created a CFML page from IIS's 404 error page (404.html becomes 404.cfm) that pre-processes all incoming page requests.
Basically, the IIS document root is completely empty and everything gets preprocessed by the 404 error file. Files get included from a CF document root to generate the actual user output. This seems like a pretty darn ingenious way to do a bunch of cool stuff! If the person who told me about this is out there, I apologize for forgetting your name!
