Haikal I think you figured it out! I've messed around with the <CFINVOKE> tag (without using the <CFOBJECT> to initialise!) and think it will work, however I'll have to wait until the next outage from the web service source to test properly.
FYI: the <cflock> suggestion won't work because the timeout attribute doesn't control how long to hold the lock for it actually controls how long each "queued" request should wait to be the next to take the lock i.e. "timeout after X seconds of waiting for the request in front of me to finish with the lock" - hope that makes sense. Thanks everyone for your help!
