Thanks for the information. However, it looks as though it might not be the firewall after all *exasperated sigh*.
The cgi variables that had become empty strings (eg HTTP_REFERER and a few others) on two servers are now displaying the correct values again. The Network Admin says he hasn't changed the settings on the firewall in the last few days and several other servers that are on the same network and accessed in the same way are displaying the cgi variables OK (suggesting possibly that it's not a firewall problem but at the level of the boxes).
I had enabled "Log Slow Pages" in the ColdFusion Administrator on both the affected boxes that day and wondered if that had something to do with it. I've played around with the setting and after several reboots, it doesn't look like that was the cause. It's a bit of a mystery, but thanks again...
