Routes 4.0.0-beta.2

Personally - I'd create a controller who's only job was to check the database and handle those redirects. Put a catch-all route as the last one in the file that points to that controller. Or use that controller as your 404Override controller, where you could check those routes first, and redirect if found, or show your custom error page.
