because CF was nothing more than an IIS plugin (at least when using it with
IIS). With CFMX, it's a separate J2EE application (running on it's own
server) that IIS delegates reqeusts to. It uses it's own mappings, and has
no knowledge that IIS is actually serving multiple virtual hosts, which may
have different preferences.
If you're running the J2EE version of CFMX, then you can set up multiple
instances of CFMX. If you want to replicate the CF5 situation, you'll need
a separate instance of CFMX for every virtual host. However, that's
overkill. All you really need is two instances: one for the "special" host,
and one for everyone else. Then you can configure the "everyone" host to
ignore zip files, and configure the "Special" one to process zip files.
