I "believe" the search engines use the same schemas OS's use. I'm not sure
about Linux/Unix, but Windows won't allow ?'s in the name of a directory.
So what I did was change the links so
index.cfm?id=3&subid=4 is
transformed so it reads
index.cfm/id,3-subid,4.html
I can't comment if it actually works because the site is still in progress.
But
as I've read in the forums, that's the way to index your dynamic content.
My $.02.
