Forgive my ignorance, but what is the purpose of building "static" pages from "dynamic" content? Search engines?
(Kinda funny...seems like we all work so hard to make dynamic pages, now we're talking about how to make them static?)

On Unix/Linux, you actually get the *all* the pages named by the URL variable... so you'd get /news/default.cfm /news/newsdetail.cfm?newsid=10 /news/newsdetail.cfm?newsid=11 ... Pretty cool...
