The thing is, that is an ideal place to do it anyway. If you are doing an actual redirect then the client needs to load the https to use the ssl certificate anyway so whats the diff if apache does it or cf does it? And yes apache runs on windows, but not every one has access to the config file to put in the rewrite so let cf handle it.

Apache can inherently handle a LOT more load than ColdFusion Server, so if you can do it there you really should. Why make CF process requests when the web server can do it? Some say the performance "hit" (when using CF) is negligible, but when the small things start to matter (when traffic increases) trust me...these things make a big difference.
