NBTSTAT.exe can be used to get the mac address over the internet. Problem
with CFEXECUTE is that it is slow, and there is no good way to get data out
of it to mess with that I know of. From looking at everything I have seen
so far we may end up going for a more conventional method of authentication.
There seems to be no sure fire way to get the mac address in an uncontrolled
environment like the internet.

Are nbstat and getmac for the lan or can you use them to get
client MAC across a http session outside the local lan?
I think the orig poster was asking how to use MAC as a security
check for any client accessing a page ... I assumed in my previous
answer that meant including clients not on the lan the server
running CFAS is on.
