Sarah,

I think you'll want a negative lookahead assert for this.  If memory serves,
CF does not support this syntax.  Here's an example from a URL ReWrite
engine:

"
For example you need to move all users not using Internet Explorer to the
other location:

RewriteCond  User-Agent: (?!.*MSIE).*
RewriteRule  (.*) /nonie$1
"

>From this example, you can derive how they work.
