Google 404 and .Net Custom Error Pages

Find the page that the user intended to see
I'm rebuilding a site with a lot of incoming links, and the URL structure is completely changing. I'm using the stock mod_rewrite solution to redirect all old links to new pages.

When does the standard 404 page appear?
I am building a simple HTTP server for a project. Most websites have custom 404 error pages. Sometimes though, you'll see Firefox spitting a generic 404 page (or 405, etc...). How does it decide what to do? What should the HTTP response be? Is "HTTP/1.0 404 NOT FOUND" enough? Thanks ...

Redirect all requests to ASP.NET MVC on IIS6
Hi, I am probably overlooking something really simple here but I am trying to redirect all bad URLs to an action that filters the URL based on conditions and then either 301 redirects to a suitable page or issues a 404 page.

404 SysVol entries in webserver's logfiles

ASP.NET Custom 404 Returning 200 OK Instead of 404 Not Found
After trying to setup my site for Google Webmaster Tools I found that my Custom ASP.NET 404 page was not returning the 404 status code.
