For maintaining state between the application servers, there may be some
environment variables you can look at ("HTTP_cookie"?)

However, a better way to do things would be your own cross-platform
session maintenance.  Inside of CF and ASP, use each language's native
session management.  However, when writing a session variable, also
maintain this information somewhere independent of the app server, like
as a cookie or in a database.  If you do it in a db, make sure to come
up with some mechanism for recognizing who the user is - may some sort
of UID, that is passed around page to page.  When going server to
server, check against this to set any "stored" session vars - you would
do this in ASP's Session_OnStart and in CF's Application.cfm

I'm just a novice with ASP, but I'd probably go with posting hidden form
fields or query string variables from one to the other.

What's the most effective way to pass variable content between a CFM and
ASP page?  In the same vein, is there any way for CFM to see ASP/IIS
session variables, or is that exclusive to asp.dll?
