There are a few ways that come to mind...
You could call the page with CFHTTP, and then write the returned contents to a
file (moderately ugly).
You could use CFSCHEDULE (I think it has a "output to file" option) (moderately
ugly).
Or, you could write a custom tag to grab the HTML output. Assuming you've had a
quick read up about custom tags (its in the advanced Forta book), use the line
below to capture the output when then tag ends execution:
<cfset caller.somevariable=ThisTag.GeneratedContent>
