By default, CF requests are passed through IIS without IIS checking
for the individual pages. This is very useful behavior, as many CF
tags and specific pieces of functionality require that CF make up new
URLs on the fly, or map specific URL requests to non-existent URLs.

If you can live without those pieces of functionality, you can enable
the "check if file exists" option in the IIS configuration for the
specific ISAPI extension used by CF.

If you can't live without those pieces of functionality, I recommend
that you implement your own 404 handling in CF. There are various
mechanisms for this, such as the Missing Template Handler in the CF
Admin ... Server Settings ...Settings page.
