a little worry about that.

Those requests to go through the firewall should have all been 'localhost'.
 This is interesting since CF uses named pipes by default and decided to
use sockets instead for some reason or perhaps the firewall software on the
machine also blocks requests for named pipes?

If you want, IMO, a better alternative to CF, I recommend checking out

As to security issues, the only major security issue I know of is just that
enabling any sort of CGI-style application for dynamic content opens a
whole new can of worms that ensures job security for system administrators :)

Hope this helps!
