    404 is "document not found", not a redirect.

    A 404 error had better not cause a site ban or Google is in trouble. :D

    Assuming you mean a custom error page: what are you going to put on it? Some unique text with a link to your homepage or something like a second sitemap (not recommended by me)?

    or do you mean a 404 error page that automaticly redirects to new page?
