Eric, I don't think ColdFusion mappings are involved when accessing files other than ColdFusion templates and components (.cfm and .cfc). If you look at the source of your web page in your browser, you'll probably see that the URLs are still "/cup/images/image.png". The web server then prepends the server name when handling the request.
You'll need to create a "cup" virtual directory for that host, and point it to where the mapping is pointing. If the only purpose of the mapping is for URLs to static resources, you don't even need the mapping at all. As a side note, is the application scope even available to make assignments before the onApplicationStart() function is called? Your application.cuproot variable may not even exist when the constructor is processing the <cfset this.mappings... stuff (especially on first run of the application). HTH, -Carl V.
