Bert,
When a .cfm page cannot be found, CF sends back its own 404 page. This page
just so happens to have a 200 response header so IIS won't pick up on it as
being not there.
So, you can either:
Set your Missing Template Handler in CF admin to point to your 404.cfm
OR
There is a setting in IIS which forces IIS to check whether a file exists
before passing the request to the CF engine. This will allow you to use the
404 pages as configured within IIS.
