I can think of two approaches offhand. First, you could look at the raw HTTP POST data using the GetHTTPRequestData function and reference the multiple fields directly. In a similar vein, I think you can discover duplicate form fields by looping over Form.Fieldnames. Second, you could replace your HTTP Submit button with a regular Button in LC Designer, and configure the button to post the XDP Data to your URL, instead of just URL-encoded name-value pairs. Of course, you'd then have to parse it as XML from within CF.
