Sorry, but I'm not sure if I know the answer to that question.
But I think I'll take a stab at an answer.
Could you have your hosting service create a mapping for your coldfusion/web root?
For example, a mapping in CF Admin might be
Logical Path: /yourdomainname
Directory Path: /the/physical/Path/to/your/coldfusion-web-root
Logical Path: /www-yahoo-com
Directory Path: /websites/www-yahoo-com/wwwroot
I don't know how ColdFusion might react with period in the Logical Path, so I used
dashes instead.
Do you think this might work for you?
Let me know.
