You'd have to pass information in a form or url to the CF page to tell the server what session to pick up when it switches servers -- which was part of the reason for the suggestion of using a cfhttp-like method to gather content from cf and place it within the asp pages so users don't actually leave the asp server. That's not to say this is a method you necessarily want to use (it involves definite added server overhead, and only the potential to make your life easier in development), but I thought I'd throw it out as an option.
