Back when I was doing Corporate Support with a regional ISP (4.5 days) we used to do this with .inc files (which were included via cfinclude) within a home rolled CMS. We also did it with an Article manager for an online magazine using .art file extensions. We were on IIS at the time, so it was a matter of telling IIS that the CF server was to parse files with those extensions. I imagine it would be the same on Apache in the config.
<IfModule mod_jrun20.c> JRunConfig Verbose true #JRunConfig Apialloc false JRunConfig Ignoresuffixmap false JRunConfig Serverstore "C:/JRun4/lib/wsconfig/control/jrunserver.store" JRunConfig Bootstrap 127.0.0.1:51002 AddHandler jrun-handler .jsp .jws .cfm .cfml .cfc .cfr .cfswf ..inc .art </IfModule> Not sure I would try it with a standard file type like .txt or .ini though. That could create some confusion...
