also, if you are trying to use this style of querystring for some reason:
/press.cfm/pr/31/
(reasons aside, lets just say you're unfortunate and aren't using a *real*
directory style querystring for some reason)
having the 'check that file exists' box checked for.cfm pages will return a
404 for those urls as well.
(for the same reason you stated, iis cant figure out the filename correctly,
so it fails)
