To claify this a little further:
In CF 4.5, Allaire added a Missing Template Handler to let developers and/or
administrators to specify a custom page for handling missing pages. Prior
to this release however, 404 (missing templates) are handled and generated
internally by CF server and there is no way to change this functionality.
The generally accepted and widely implemented workaround for this is to have
the web server intercept these requests before the file is passed on to CF
for processing. This adds a reource footprint to your webserver however,
since the server must now check to insure the file exists every time it is
accessed before handing it off to CF. On small to moderately busy servers,
you shouldn't notice any performance problems. On high traffic sites
though, this does contribute to the total amount of traffic the server can
handle. Another benefit of having IIS intercept these errors though, is
that you can use all of your custom error pages that you've already created
for regular web files.

If you're running IIS you can do it through the MMC. Are you running
IIS?
If so email me off list and I can walk you through it.
