The way you could do that is using MOD_REWRITE with apache. That is how most languages deal with these kind of URL's. Essentially you use a Regular Expression to "rewrite" the string into something like www.mydomain.com/url/variable into www.mydomain.com/index.cfm?url=variableetc. etc.
I've done this since i think it looks cool and nobody can tell I am using CF which is always funny to me. J.J.
