If you are doing it in cf then that means you are using IIS (or *nix equiv) to return a cf page for processing when it determines the file is not there. If you do it right you return the proper response in the cfheader for the url (mydomain.com/tinyurl). If you don't do it right the spider gets the content of the url that it hit but gets 404 as the response from the server. That's bad.
If you rewrite using the webserver you get the same result as the 'right' approach above. At least that's my understanding.
