It may take a bit more work, but this solution is meant to work this way, not make something work by breaking other things (all respect to the 404-error afficianados out there, and no disrespect intended... I just don't like fixing things by masking other broken things... it's a matter of using things to their intended purpose).
Anyway, here's the URL, it's about using a combination of mod_rewrite and mod_proxy to create masked URLs: http://www.macromedia.com/devnet/mx/coldfusion/j2ee/articles/balancing_j2ee03.html It works as well with CF as it does with Jrun, and it's all practically the same thing anyway, you just have to read .cfm in a few places and apply the concept to your problem. I set it up in a few mintues one afternoon. The only real issue is tweaking your regexes so your links don't end up broken... here's another bit of writing on the subject: http://blaine.korte.ca/index.cfm?mode=entry&entry=A8CFD94A-E18C-C9BC-0384EA187AF34613 Best'o'Luck...
