Be careful updating
I recently added the post ColdFusion 7.01 hotfix to my server. I thought this was a great idea except I made a single major mistake. I had never updated the server to 7.01. The result of this was over 10,000 error emails between the hours of 3am and 11am. I'm not sure if the errors were all from bots or people as well, but the bottom line is the same. I had to remove the hot fix and reboot. Everything was good from there. I'll add it back in after I actually update to 7.01.
I'm sure no one else will do such a foolish thing, but if you start getting a stream of "java.lang.NoClassDefFoundError" errors saying "coldfusion/util/IPAddressUtils null
The error occurred on line ...", then you know the reason.

Thanks for posting this! You saved my life. I just made the same mistake. I'll apply the 7.0.1 updater before applying the hotfix.
