Url rewrite in IIS may not even be involved here, and need not be. Prior to win2k8 the standard way to handle Cf 404 and 'fakeURL' 404's was to tell IIS not to 'check to see if file exists' in the .cfm mapping. From there CF server's 404 handler did whatever you wanted it to. To retain the same capability with dynamic urls i had to jump thru the hoops described above in win2k8. Current method of individual site 404 handlers is a pain but more flexible.
