Yes.

mod_rewrite is very powerful and well worth learning about if you're 
using Apache.

Sorry mod_rewrite is new to me -- are you using mod_rewrite to serve
up an error page when someone tries to access the Administrator via a
VirtualHost?

Yes, the mod_jrun connector intercepts *all* .cfm / .cfc (and .jsp) 
requests across the entire server. On our setup we use mod_rewrite to 
rewrite the URLs for the CF Administrator to an error page (we rewrite 
a lot of URLs in fact!). I'm not sure whether mod_rewrite runs ahead of 
mod_jrun but you could try that (we don't run mod_jrun because we use 
hardware load balancing between the web servers and the app servers so 
we simply proxy traffic from Apache to Big-IP and hence to CFMX - you 
can read more about our setup in Brandon Purcell's article on 
macromedia.com... I don't have the URL handy, sorry).
