we managed over 5,000 domains in IIS at go2.com using ADO/ADSI. we tried a
CF/CFX interface at first, but ended up writing the admin console in VB. it
was MUCH faster.

You could certainly build a script which creates the appropriate entries via
ADSI. This script could be run from the server console, or you could write a
CF script which calls it. There are example ADSI scripts in the AdminScripts
directory created by installing IIS. Alternatively, you could use the
Intranet Hosting Toolkit CFX as an interface.
However, I don't know how well IIS will run with that many virtual servers.
It's not really designed for that, I don't think.
