 -- I'm pretty certain that this is impossible in ASP, it works great in
CF, but ASP can't do anything in a 404.

 -- or you could download a free one from here:

http://www.pstruh.cz/ (check out URL replacer)... you can get source
code for $30 I think... it works like a charm, does exactly what you
want.
