CF will handle any load you can come up with... just be sure of the following:
1. run a real database... MySQL is a great one and has awesome cost... 2. Have enough machines to process your requests... 3. Don't try running many servers on one machine... divide FTP, EMAIL, DNS and SQL stuff from the web app box... 4. Run a minimum of 3 front end boxes ... 1 for live, one for backup and one for development... CF is very robust, rapid and reliable if you take proper business steps to build out your solution and invest in the infrastructure... lots of people get real cheap on the hardware side and beat boxes to death... Puts lots of RAM (as much as possible) in the boxes and amply large and fast disk...
