Any chance you're using Apache?  This would be a perfect exercise for
mod_rewrite.  If not, maybe one of the IIS implementations.  Any of
those should be able to handle it.

This is almost certainly my own bias, but I'll put it out there
anyway.  XML is a "standard" web extension.  Handling it in a such a
specialized manner doesn't seem like the best way of dealing with this
situation.  I throw that out knowing that if the webserver is
specialized enough then it probably doesn't matter, but I wonder what
happens if a few months from now you choose to start serving
(non-CFML-based) syndication feeds from the same server.  I guess it
violates my sense of extensibility.  :-)
