Yes the scenario is that the CF service goes down. I believe I will receive
an error even if the default page is setup with default.htm as second in
line as specified in the MMC console (I tested it). I don't think IIS is
smart enough to realize the .cfm page is not working or am I wrong?
If there is no solution at this point no problem...
Thanks for the brainstorming though...
