store links to 404's

You could just configure your routes to route them to the new url, but u could also use .htaccess to route certain urls or bits of urls. Both of those options save the user the trouble of arriving at a 404.

If you have to use 404's say something like your site has just been updates, and either point them to the new link or a search page, or your home page.
