Andreas,

I got the impression that giving GB 301's instead of 404's was what they we're trying to avoid? AFAIK, there's no reason why you can't give a dynamic error page with 404 in the headers..

From watching GB spidering us, it appears to que 301/302's rather than follow them, coming back to them later on, whereas if they'd got the 404 straight away they wouldn't need to re-visit?
