That's by design. CF knows when an application starts. You can 'force' it a few ways.
1) In CF9, within onRequestStart, add a check for url.init (or some such), and run applicationStop(), you then need to reload the current request. 2) Or even simpler, within onRequestStart, add a check for a url var and simply do onApplicationStart(); This will NOT single thread the call, but if you are just setting up a bunch of variables, you most likely do not need to be concerned. 3) I don't really recommend this, but you can also just rename the application.
