[Linux-disciples] SSI and ErrorDocuments

[Adam Rosi-Kessel]

Without testing it, couldn't you do something like

ErrorDocument 404 error/404.html

RewriteCond [...blah...]
RewriteRule ^.*$ nonexistent_url.html [r]

Then the nonexistent_url will call for a document that doesn't exist,
going then to the 404 error page.
