Okay, I was starting to feel stupid because I couldn't get nuttin' to work.
However, I did get a custom 404.cfm page to come up on my dev Workstation.
But I still can't get it to go on my dev Server. The main difference between
my workstation and server is the IIS Default Web Site directory. My
workstation uses the default C:\inetpub\wwwroot. I put my 404.cfm file
there. The server uses D:\WebRoot\DomainName.

So then I have a '/' mapping on the server that points to just D:\WebRoot.
Maybe this is screwing things up. I have tried various possibilities and
mappings and am not having any luck.
I created a mapping named '/404' pointing to 'D:\WebRoot\DomainName\404'.
Then in the Missing Template Handler I put /404/404.cfm. After submitting
the CF Admin says it cannot find the file and will use the default instead
(I have CF 7 on my Dev Server, which gives this feedback whereas I don't
think CF 6.1 does). So to fix this I change the Missing Template Handler
field to /DomainName/404/404.cfm (essentially eliminating the need for the
/404 mapping). Server updates okay, but when browsing to a non-existant .cfm
file, I still get the default 404 error.  Aaargh!

This isn't even that big of a deal, but has become frustrating and seems
like it shouldn't be so confusing.
