So, when referencing the "virtual server", I'd just use a URL like http://66.79.46.138:85/Index.cfm because it would take the visitor directly inside the root directory? Am I understanding that correctly?
And I guess the key difference is in the properties for the virtual directory, where instead of port 80, port 85 would be specified for the site? And port 85 would have to be opened in the router, too?

No, you would still need to have separate virtual hosts for each site, and each virtual host would typically have its own root directory. Using different ports just lets you use the same IP address or DNS name to connect to different virtual servers.
