There's a lot of functionality in cfide.componentutils.cfcexplorer as
well as service factory.  They are great resources for developers but
was not sure of what controls are in place to manage access in a hosted,
shared, or production environment.  

Is there a way to look at an IP address and determine if the IP is
public or private?  This is working with the assumption that dev and
stage zones would not be publicly accessible.

Be careful, because CFFORM uses the scripts inside /CFIDE/scripts, so
you can't just hide the whole directory.  But the admin and stuff
definitely shouldn't be web accessible.  At the very least, set up a
different vhost on the same IP where you get to it, but better to run
it on an entirely different site with all the access control you can
muster.
