Hello and thank you for reading.

I am trying to set it up so that I can have the 404's point to a mirrored server.

So lets say a user goes [server1.com...] that 404s I want to send them to [server2.com...]

How can I do this?

Thank you.

Generally, the content for the error message should be pulled from the same server.

What would happen if the other server was down, for example?

All I can think of, is for your 404 error page to contain a meta refresh to the other URL, but that's a pretty horrible solution.
