I'm not too sure if it would work with coldfusion, but at least with php on
linux/apache, it works :

Simply use an url like this [you see the difference? ;-)]:
http://www.bob.com/index.cfm/top_level/catalog/category/shoes/product_id/37

Apache would detect that "index.cfm"  is a script, and would ignore the rest
of the url. The arguments could be retrieved using a function that returns
the ending part of the url.

All this 404 complex stuff wouldn't be needed.

Strange enough, this doesn't work with apache win32 (does anyone has any
clue?).

Keep it simple ;-)
