There are other ways such as using SES urls or not referencing file names 
directly. Reference the folder only and make sure that index.cfm is the 
default.  URL's can be along the lines of mysite.com/key/value 

Again this only obscures that ColdFusion is being used.  

Why does the client want to obscure the fact that ColdFusion is being used?
