[TYPO3] is 404 handling like microsoft.com possible with typo3?

[Ries van Twisk]

Surer,

I use the method found here:
http://www.rvantwisk.nl/typo3-snippets/page-404-and-301-handling.html

Let me know if you have problems with the php code on the page.
I still can't get the RTE to respect code..... I can send it to do.

The only think it doesn't do it keep the URL bar the same, it does do a 
redirect to a other page
But it does send you a correct 404.
