Did you do something to IIS or to CFMX? Are you on a single site machine or multi-homed? I'm using Website (which is using the JRun connector so that's not a problem) on a multi-domain system. My thinking is that it's a problem with the machine being multi-domained and CFMX not being able to translate the URL properly.
