there's a version of CFX_ShellExec or something similar that lets you return
the output in a var.
let me hunt around and see if i can find which tag it was.

It doesn't look like you can.
You can redirect the output to a file and use CFFILE to read it in as a
variable though.
For reasons I would rather not discuss, we want to use a CFX or a DCOM for
this.
What I might do for now is put the CFX_WhoIs call in another template and
use CFHTTP to catch the data as a variable.
